In two-year field experiments, nitrogen (N) in the form of urea (0, 120 and 240 kg N/ha) was applied to grain maize (Zea mays L.) hybrid KWS 2376. The two-year mean content of total grain N at harvest was 1.54%. The highest N dose reduced most of the 17 amino acids (AA) analysed in the grain compared with the other treatments. Possible reasons for this could be an adverse effect on the tricarboxylic acid cycle or deficiency of carbon skeletons for the assimilation of NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> into amides and amino acids. The content of the limiting amino acid lysine was not influenced by N fertilisation, with a mean two-year content of 2.02 mg/g DM. Taking into account the differences in fertilisation, the effect of the year was seen in the maximal accumulation of amino acids serine, proline, methionine, threonine, arginine and lysine. Increasing rates of nitrogen reduced the accumulation of asparagine and glycine, and, on the contrary, increased the accumulation of tyrosine. Nitrogen rates have a significant effect on the maximal accumulation of valine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, histidine, cysteine and alanine and appeared as early as after the first increased rate of nitrogen (120 kg N/ha).

The current experiment was designed to examine and evaluate the nutritional factors of 16 selected high yielding Maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids and their parental lines. A secondary objective of this study was to compare the nutritional factors of the hybrids with that of their parents.71 genotypes (35 parents, F1& F2 of 16 selected hybrids, 2 checks) were evaluated in two replications for their nutritional factor. The nutritional factors of hybrids was determined by estimating the content of Protein, Carbohydrates, Amino acids and Ascorbic acid. Lowry’s method, Anthrone’s method, Roe and Keuther method, Yemm et al., method was used to estimate the protein content, carbohydrate content, Ascorbic acid content and Amino acid content respectively. Among the select hybrids, four hybrids (SH1 (L29 x T3), SH8 (L24 x T3), SH13 (L11x T5), SH15 (L24 x T5)) showed higher quantity of protein, carbohydrate and amino acids. Therefore, these four hybrids can be recommended to the farming community for production. This will help farmers to get good yielding maize with high nutritional factors. The rest of the hybrids can be recommended in their particular segment for nutritional benefits. We concluded that, high-nutrient and high-yielding heterotic maize hybrids were produced for cultivation and suggested to the farmers.
