Screening corn hybrids for early-stage drought stress tolerance using SPAR phenotyping platform.

An experiment was conducted comprising of six corn hybrids that were subjected to drought and irrigated environment in separate columns in soil-plant-atmosphere-research (SPAR) cubes. The treatments and hybrids in SPAR cubes were replicated four times and a two factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) was used to analyze the effect of drought on hybrids and their effects on traits. Significant drought × hybrid interactions were observed for most of the parameters.
