“…While, the tallest plants were obtained by TWC 353 hybrid and plants date on1 st March or 20 th July. Maga et al (2015) who indicated that the interaction effect of variety and sowing date was significant for plant height and grain yield/fed. Early sowing to 18 th May and 1 st June resulted in significant reduction of grain yield from 130.67 kg/plot to 127.18 kg/plot in QPM and 126.67 to 125 kg/plot in TZESR-Y.…”

In order to study the effect of sowing date on performance of hybrids yellow maize, tow field experiment were conducted in two successive summer seasons 2016 and 2017 at the Toshka Experimental station of Desert Research Center, Abu Simbel City, Aswan Governorate. Five sowing dates ( March 1 st , March 20 th , April 10 th , July 20 th and August 10 th ) under studied on the yield and its attributes of four yellow maize hybrids(S.C. 168, S.C. 176,T.W.C.353 and T.W.C. 360 ). Results indicated that sowing date and hybrids significantly affected on plant height, number of grains per row, 1000 grain weight and grain yield kg/fed. The late sowing on Aug. 10 th produced the highest significant parameters of maize plants; plant height, No. of ears/plant, number of raws/ear, 1000-grains weight and grain yields. On the reverse, the lowest values were obtained at medium sown on April10 th on sown T.W.C. 360 hybrid was significantly higher than other hybrids in all traits under study in two seasons. The interactions was significant effected on plant height, No. of ears/plant, No. of rows/ear, No. of grains/ear, grains weight/ear and grain yield in both seasons. It could be concluded that sown SC. 176 or SC.168 hybrids during 10 th August successfully improving production of maize yield and its components under Toshka conditions.

“…Higher growth and yield parameters were mainly due to higher values of growth attributes in CP-818 at all stages of crop growth coupled with its higher photosynthetic efficiency due to its optimum LAI and canopy spread which might have led to stimulation of longer sink in terms of longer cobs. Khan et al (2002), Golla et al (2019), Dahmardeh (2012) and Maga (2015) also reported differential response of maize varieties when exposed to different environmental conditions by means of sowing at different dates. It is also well-known fact that number of kernels per cob were higher in longer cobs than small ones apart from this the better cob filling resulted in higher kernel yield.…”

A field experiment was conducted at college of Agriculture, UAHS, Shivamogga during kharif 2015 to study the effect of date of sowing and hybrids on growth and yield of Maize (Zea maysL.). The experi-ment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with factorial concept and replicated thrice. There were eight treatment combinations which includes four dates of sowing (15thJune, 30thJune, 15thJuly and 30thJuly) and two hybrids (PAC-740 and CP-818). Crop sown on 15thJune recorded significantly higher plant height (201.03 cm), number of green leaves (3.03), leaf area (992.49 cm2), LAI (0.74), total dry matter (305.65 g), cob length (22.16 cm), kernels cob-1 (670.93), kernel yield cob-1(230.95 g), test weight (43.08 g), kernel yield (7632.57 kg ha-1), stover yield (9512.56 kg ha-1) andhar-vest index (44.52 %)as compared to other sowing dates. Among the hybrids CP -818 recorded significantly higher plant height (191.85 cm), number of green leaves (2.72), leaf area (954.32 cm2), LAI (0.71), total dry matter (277.65 g), cob length (19.81 cm), kernels cob-1 (541.88), kernel yield cob-1(207.71 g), test weight (39.16 g), kernel yield (7060.72 kg ha-1), Stover yield (8839.98 kg ha-1) and harvest in-dex (44.44%) as compared to PAC-740. The interaction between dates of sowing and hybrids are non-significant.

“…It may be due to the fact that favorable weather conditions and longer growth duration have supported profuse vegetative growth under early sowing. Kharazmshahi et al (2015) also reported that in early sowing produce tall plants than the late sowing while Maga et al (2015) observed that sowing date had significant effect on number of leaves per plant.…”
