Genetic improvement in components of economic importance along with maintaining a sufficient amount of variability is always the desired objective in the any maize (Zea mays L.) breeding program which will be handled under the conditions of Haramaya, Eastern Ethiopia. Therefore, an experiment was conducted using (27) and (3) check/control varieties to determine the genetic variability of maize genotypes at Haramaya, eastern Ethiopia. The study results revealed that significantly the tallest plant heights for (PH) were recorded from (3) (170 cm) and (18) (167.5 cm) genotypes whereas the shortest PH were recorded from (13) (117.5 cm) and (23) genotypes (120 cm). Good plant aspects (PA) were obtained from genotype 12, 22 and 26 (PA-1.5) and poor PA were attained from genotype 1 (PA-2.5). Besides, genetic and phenotypic variances were estimated for seven components. The highest genotypic coefficients variation (GCV) and phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) were calculated from grain yield (GY – 23.39%). Comparatively the higher GY were attained from the genotypes of 3, 9 and 12. It can be concluded that almost all components of the PCV are greater than the GCV. Superior selected genotypes are recommended to the researchers /breeders to develop disease resistant and high yielder varieties to increase maize production by farmers under Haramaya and other similar agroecologies.

The results revealed that parents namely, TSK-10, TSK-27, New Blue-II, Kurara and TSK-109 were found highly genetic diverse for days to 50% tasseling, days to 50% silking, days to 755 dry husk. The parents namely, TSK-109, Kurara, New Blue-II and TSK-10 were found highly genetic diverse for plant height (cm), cob height, number of cobs per plant and number of grains per cob. The parents namely, Kurara, TSK-109, TSK-10, New Blue-II and TSK-27 were found highly genetic diverse for shelling percentage, grain yield per plant, grain yield per cob and 100-grain weight.

RESUMO – O Leste Maranhense corresponde à mais nova fronteira agrícola do Brasil. Entretanto, fatores limitantesda produtividade, como a escolha correta da variedade e o sistema de cultivo mais adequado para as condições locais,ainda são desconhecidos. Objetivou-se estudar o desempenho produtivo de 17 genótipos de milho, sob três sistemasde cultivo para a região. Foram realizados dois experimentos, um na cidade de Chapadinha e outro na cidade de Brejo,sendo avaliados 17 genótipos ao todo. Os ensaios foram dispostos no delineamento em blocos casualisados com quatrorepetições em esquema fatorial 3x10 [10 cultivares e três sistemas de cultivo (plantio com cobertura de palha decarnaúba; plantio sem cobertura; plantio intercalado com feijão caupi)]. O sistema de cultivo com palha de carnaúba,independentemente do genótipo de milho e do local de avaliação, proporcionou os maiores rendimentos de grãos.Em Chapadinha, os genótipos mais produtivos foram as variedades de polinização aberta Caiano e Al-Bandeirante,o híbrido duplo AGN 1051, os híbridos triplos 2B 433, BRS 3060 e CMS 3E482 e o híbrido simples P 3646 H. ParaBrejo, os melhores resultados foram obtidos pelos híbridos duplos 2B 707 HX e AGN 1051 e pelos híbridos simples2B 604 HX, 30 F35 H e P 3646 H.Palavras-chave: Zea mays L., Palhada, Rendimento de grãos.PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF MAIZE CULTIVARS IN THREE FARMING SYSTEMS IN EAST MARANHÃO STATEABSTRACT - East Maranhão State is the newest agricultural frontier in Brazil. However, productivity limiting factorssuch as the correct choice of variety and the cropping system more suitable to the local conditions are still unknown.The objective of this study was to evaluate the productive performance of 17 maize genotypes under three cultivationsystems for the region. Two experiments were carried out, one in the city of Chapadinha and another in the city ofBrejo, evaluating 17 genotypes. The trials were arranged in a randomized block design with 4 replications in a 3x10factorial scheme [10 cultivars and 3 cultivation systems (planting with cover of carnaúba straw, plantation withoutcover, intercropping with cowpea). The use of carnaúba straw provided the highest grain yields, regardless the maizegenotype and the evaluation site,. In Chapadinha the most productive genotypes were the open-pollinated varietiesCaiano and Al-Bandeirante, the double hybrid AGN 1051, the triple hybrids 2B 433, BRS 3060 and CMS 3E482 andthe simple hybrid P 3646 H. For Brejo the best results were obtained by the double hybrids 2B 707 HX and AGN 1051and by the simple hybrids 2B 604 HX, 30 F35 H and P 3646 H.Keywords: Zea mays L., Straw, Grain Yield.
