Specific reaction of maize hybrids in different agroecological conditions

Abstract

In this paper we investigated grain yield and yield stability of NS maize hybrids of different FAO maturity groups. Fifteen hybrids were grown in strip trials without replications at 29 locations in Serbia. Although weather conditions were not favorable for maize, especially in the dry areas, the average grain yield was fairly high (8.09 tha-1). High grain mean values and above-average stability of grain yield were found in the hybrids NS 6030, NS 6010, and NS 4015.

NS hibridi kukuruza (15 hibrida) su u 2008. godini ispitivani u makrogledima na 29 lokacija u svim rejonima gajenja kukuruza u Srbiji. Prirodni uslovi za proizvodnju nisu bili naklonjeni proizvodnji kukuruza, naročito u tradicionalno sušnim rejonima. Pored toga, hibridi NS 6030, NS 6010, NS 4015 su pokazali visok prinos i dobru stabilnost prinosa u svim rejonima gajenja kukuruza u Srbiji.
