Variance components and their ratios broad‐sense heritability and constancy were estimated for some quantitative traits in northwestern Spain populations of maize. Estimations were carried out at the significance levels of 5% and 25% and without significance limits. It can be concluded that estimation without significance limits is more efficient than the estimations at the usual levels in the method of analysis of experimental data from fields experiments.
