Abstract:
per row and grain yield (kg/ha) . The genotype 17scored the highest yield (The experiment was conducted at winter season of 2016 at the experimental farm of Shambat, college of Agricultural studies, Sudan University of Science and Technology. The objective of this was study to investigate the genetic variability in ten maize genotypes (Zea mays L.) for some growth yield characters included Days to tasseling , Days to silking, Cob diameter, Number of rows per ear, Number of kernels per row and Grain yield (kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The analysis of variance showed significant differences in days to tasseling, days to silking and cob diameter, and non-significant differences in number of rows per ear, number of kernels 1122.5) .
