Resumo: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of random and non-random sampling and sample size on estimates and variance analysis for number of grains/ear (NGE), cob length (CL) and cob weight (CW) of ten cultivars. In the random sampling the plants were selected with the aid of a random number table. In the non-random sampling, the sampler tried to be random, but no random mechanism was used. The sample sizes studied were 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 ears for 26 ears harvested in each plot. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with five replications. F-test results for both sampling methods were in agreement for NGE, but not for CL and CW. There were differences between sampling methods for NGE and CW. It was concluded that at least 11 ears must be selected for estimation of the mentioned traits. This number of plants can be easily handled and requires much less labor input than sample sizes.

Na amostragem aleatória (A) as espigas foram selecionadas com o auxílio de uma tabela de dígitos aleatórios. Na amostragem não-aleatória (NA), o amostrador procurou ser "aleatório" sem usar, no entanto, nenhum mecanismo de sorteio. Como tamanhos amostrais foram usados 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 e 15 espigas, de um total de 26 espigas produzidas na área útil de cada parcela. Utilizou-se o delineamento de blocos ao acaso com cinco repetições. Os resultados da aplicação do teste F para comparar cultivares são concordantes com os métodos A e NA, quanto a NGE. Nos outros dois caracteres ocorreram discordâncias entre os dois métodos de amostragem, com alguns tamanhos amostrais. Somente houve diferenças entre tamanhos amostrais em relação a PS. Entre métodos de amostragem ocorreram diferenças quanto a NGE e PS. Para estimar os referidos caracteres, é necessário o uso de pelo menos 11 espigas por parcela, a fim de se obterem estimativas com boa precisão experimental, economia de tempo, e recursos financeiros.Pesquisa Agropecuaria BrasileiraPesquisa Agropecuária Brasileirada Silva, JaevesonSérgio Lima e Silva, Paulode Pontes Nunes, Raimundo1998-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/5030Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira; v.33, n.12, dez. 1998; 1983-1988Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira; v.33, n.12, dez. 1998; 1983-19881678-39210100-104xreponame:Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online)instname:Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)instacron:EMBRAPAporhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/5030/7179info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2014-12-16T16:23:19Zoai:ojs.seer.sct.embrapa.br:article/5030Revistahttp://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pabPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phppab@sct.embrapa.br || sct.pab@embrapa.br1678-39210100-204Xopendoar:2014-12-16T16:23:19Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online) - Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)false
