Abstract:
Production and productivity of maize may be increased with the hybridization. Assessing maize hybrids in the particular climatic condition is one of the most important key tasks for producing hybrid maize. The current study was conducted to identify the most suitable hybrid maize for climatic zone three of Karnataka. The field trial was conducted during the Kharif Season of 2021-2022 at Agricultural Research Station, Arabhavi field of University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. The statistical design adopted for the study was eight hybrids in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The results suggested that among tested hybrids, NMH 36 (12.60 tons ha−1) of UPL Limited (Advanta Limited), Hyderabad, followed by NMH 777(11.10 tons ha−1) of UPL Limited (Advanta Limited), Hyderbad, compared with the National Check, NK 6240 (11.30 tons ha−1) and private check 900M-Gold (11.20 tons ha−1). Hence, the study suggested that NMH 36 and NMH 777 of UPL Limited (Advanta Limited) could be chosen as promising hybrids for the maize growers in zone 3 of Karnataka.
