Abstract

Seven introduce maize varieties obtained from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico were tested during the 1972-73 dry season at College, Laguna and 1973-74 dry season at the Bureau of Plant Industry Experiment Station, La Cranja, Negros Occidental.

Nitrogen hastened days to silking and increased plant and ear height.

Tux P. B. and Tux x Eto P. B. significantly outyielded the check variety Philippine DMR-1 and all the other introduced varieties in all levels of nitrogen at College, Laguna with a mean yield of 111.2 and 111.5 cavans per hectare, respectively. On the other hand Tux P. B. significantly outyielded Philippine DMR-1 in La Granja with a mean yield of 62.0 cavans per hectare.

Significant Nitrogen x variety interaction effect on the grain yield was observed in La Granja. No such interaction was obtained at College, Laguna.
