Abstract

The field experiment was conducted at three locations viz., Karnal, Gorakhpur and Bulandshahr during kharif and rabi season of 2003-04 and 2004-05. Three hybrid cultivars Seed Tech 2324, Bio-9681 and Pro-311 use of common for all the three locations and two local cultivars were chosen from the popular varieties at particular locations. Result revealed that rabi maize at Karnal location increased maximum productivity. Among the various cultivars, hybrid maize Seed Tech 2324 produced the highest yield attributes yield of grain and net return per hectare and net return per rupee also.
