| ABSTRACT: New white 15 inbred lines of maize were mated to the two testers, inbred lines SK-13 and SC130 at Sakha Agricultural Research Station during 2012 season. The resulting 15 single crosses, 15 three way crosses and two commercial hybrid, SC10 and TWC321 were evaluated at two locations Sakha and Mallawi in 2013 season to estimate days to 50% silking (days), plant and ear heights (cm), ear length and diameter (cm) and grain yield (ard/fed). The analysis of variance revealed significant mean squares due to lines, testers and their interaction for all traits except for testers for ear diameter and lines x tester interaction for plant height and ear diameter. | ||||
