Evaluation of single cross maize hybrids during the spring season in Khairahani, Chitwan, Nepal

The experiment was conducted at Khairahani-5, Chitwan, Nepal from 28th February to 20th June 2021. Twenty single cross maize hybrids were evaluated for quantitative and qualitative traits. in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Data recorded on flowering traits, physiological disease agro-morphological yield contributing Analysis of variance showed significant differences all traits except root lodging, the number plants per hectare, leaf senescence, plant aspect. result indicated that HGABS2-15-2-1B/RL174 had shortest days anthesis silking. genotype RML138/RML140 found have double cob. longest cob RML76/RML146 (17.3 cm), while highest diameter Shrestha (5.1cm). maximum grains row obtained RML57/RL174, thousand-grain weight RAMPUR HYBRID-10. variety produced grain (9.954tha-1) followed by RML191/RML18 (9.41tha-1), CAH1715 (9.356tha-1) RML4/RL111 (9.021tha-1). broad-sense heritability rows ear (79%), fifty percent silking (75%), (72%), (70%), (68%). Correlation studies suggested ears length, positive correlation yield. Therefore, RML191/RML18, CAH1715, better performance terms
