Abstract
The genetic variability allows selection of superior genotypes and makes it possible to increase the frequency of favorable genes through appropriate selection methods that provide genetic material's retrieval adapted to environmental conditions prevalent in the different producing regions. Thus, this work was performed with the goal of studying the genetic divergence of populations of open pollination of corn in the South of Pará State. To this end, two tests were made of corn genotypes competition, being the first to top P (100 kg ha-1 of P) and the second for low P (50 kg ha-1 of P). The study of genetic divergence was performed using together with the data from the two trials. The experimental design used in each trial was randomized with ten treatments (open-pollinated maize genotypes) and three repetitions. The characteristics studied were: plant Height, Ear height, the diameter of the Spike, Spike length, grain in the row numbers and productivity. In the study of genetic divergence was employed the Tocher optimization method. The importance of characters, was the Foundation of Singh. Three medium-sized groups were formed, which were in the same genotypes 08 groups, and two other genotypes (AG 1051 and AL BANDEIRANTE.), were in different groups. The characters presented more collaboration for the genetic divergence were productivity, plant height and ear height.
