Evaluation of Eleven Genotypes of Maize ( Zea mays L.)for some Growth and Yield characters

Abstract

The experiment was conducted in summer season of 2016 at Shambat, College of Agricultural Studies, Sudan University of Science and Technology to evaluate eleven lines of grain maize for some growth and yield characters. The experiment was laid out randomized complete block design (RCBD), with three replications. Five characters were measured included (cob diameter –cob length –number of leaves –number of kernels /row-100 seeds weight). The results showed that significantdifferentbetween the eleven maize lines for all studies characters. The L5 scored the highest means of cob diameter and 100 seed weight and theL7scored the highest means cob length and number of kernels,
