Popular maize hybrids

Banded Leaf and Sheath Blight (BLSB) disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani f. sp. sasakii Exner was studied in 22 inbred lines and 12 hybrids at the Regional Agricultural Research Station farm, Lam, Guntur, during rabi 2014-15 for evaluating resistance. Out of 22 inbred lines, PFSR9-2 had shown resistant reaction whereas PFSR6-1, PFSR6-2 and PFSR18 were found to be moderately resistant to BLSB disease.

The present investigation was carried out to identify maize hybrids suitable under rice fallow situation since rice fallow maize is gaining more popularity among the farming community in recent years. The results obtained in the present investigation are quite encouraging as the hybrids excelled in their performance under rice fallow condition and may offer a vast scope for breeders to work on the genetic studies under such situation.

A field experiment was conducted to identify best sowing methodology for different maize hybrids in two contrasting environments i.e. spring and kharif, 2017 at Lovely Professional University, Phagwara. In this experiment three factors, Season, varieties and flat/ridges sowing technique were studied as main, sub and sub-sub factors in split plot design with three replications and six popular hybrids. The data was recorded for Plant height, cob height (cm), cob length (cm), Cob breadth (cm), Number of cobs/plot, Grain yield, cob weight/plot, Stubble weight, Harvest index%.

Microsatellite markers can be used for fingerprinting of hybrids, assessing variation within parental lines and testing the genetic purity of hybrid seed lot. In this study 75 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers well distributed on all the 10 chromosomes were employed for fingerprinting of six popular maize hybrids and their parental lines. Seven SSR markers were found to be polymorphic and produced unique fingerprints for the different hybrids. These markers can be used as referral markers for unambiguous identification and protection of the hybrids.

This study was carried out at Maize field of AICRP on Maize, Central farm, OUAT, Bhubaneswar during kharif 2014 and kharif 2015. The experiment comprised of 15 numbers of popular cultivars of maize viz. MRM 3777, DMH 7705, DKC9117, VIVEK HYBRID-9, VIVEK QPM-9, NMH-1247, NK-30, BIO 9681, BIO 9637, CORN S 6217, ASMH 177, HM-4, HQPM-1, HQPM -5 and DKC 8101. Among all the cultivars NK-30, Bio 9681 and ASMH 777 cultivars recorded resistant. DKC 9117, VIVEK HYBRID-9, NMH 1247, BIO9637, CORN S 6217 and DKC-8101 cultivars recorded moderately resistant.

Chhattisgarh, the 26th state of the Indian Union came into existence on November 1st, 2000. In Chhattisgarh, maize is a kharif season crop and second most important crop next to paddy in terms of both area and production. The state has got very good potential for maize but the productivity is very low due to cultivation of open pollinated varieties (OPVs) and improper input management practices. The real potential can be realized by the adoption of hybrid maize especially single cross hybrids with full package of practices.
