Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the Sudan University of Sciences and Technology, College of Agricultural a t studies- Shambat- in winter season of 2016.The Objective of this research was to study variability in ten grain maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes for some growth and yield characters. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Five growth and yield characters were measured included 50% days of the tasseling, 50% days of the silking , plant height (cm), grain yield plant ton/ha and 100kernel weight/g .The analysis of variance showed significant difference between maize genotypes for all studied characters except for grain yield plant. The genotype (Hybrid) Mg x H1 scored the highest value (20.17 ) gm of 100 kernel weight.
