Thirty white-grain hybrids in 1210cations and 20 yellow-grain hybrids in 14 locations were evaluated in 1996. The control HB-83 was used for white grains, and control HB-46 was used for yellow grains. Measurement of genotype/environment interaction was obtained through the analysis of additive main effects and multiplicative in~eractions (AMMI model). White hybrids A- 7573, H-53, HN-951, A-7530, CB- XHS-7GMl and CML- 9XCML-47 equaled or surpassed the HB-83 control in 17,8%; 0,1%; 1,1%; 9,2%; 8,1% and 18,7% ofthe cases, respectively, showing little interaction with the environment (AMMI values close to O). Two of these hybrids are from national programs, and three from private seed companies. As for the yellow grains, only the CB-XHS-8GM3, HS-6 and DK-888A hybrids surpassed the control HA-46 in yield, and showed AMMI scores c10se to O: (0,20; -0,07 and -0,12, respectively); all of these belong to private seed companies.

Several early maize (Zea mays L.) ideotypes were evaluated to determine if maturity or prolificacy differences were important determinants of responses to variable plant densities. Sixteen hybrids were tested at 24 000, 48 000 and 72 000 plants ha−1 in four North Dakota environments. These 16 hybrids represented a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of maturity (ear moisture at harvest) and prolificacy (ears per plant), with four randomly selected hybrids representing each combination of factors. Grain yield, ear moisture at harvest, stalk and root lodging, test weight and yield components were evaluated. No significant maturity × plant density or prolificacy × plant density interactions were detected although trends were for early hybrids to yield relatively better at higher planting densities. In the four environments, early hybrids outyielded late hybrids and prolific hybrids outyielded nonprolific hybrids. Early hybrids had higher test weights, more stalk lodging, heavier kernels and more ears per plant than late hybrids. Prolific hybrids had higher yields, lower test weights, lighter kernels, more ears per plant and more root lodging than nonprolific hybrids. For the four environments tested, the highest density produced the highest average yields. The data supported the use of early, prolific hybrids at medium to high densities. However, early prolific hybrids grown at high plant densities had increased root lodging, stalk lodging and higher moisture at harvest.Key words: Maize, yield components, genotype × environment interaction, plant population, planting rate, ears per plant

The number of ovules of the first ear of maize (Zea mays L.) at silking time was studied on three single crosses ranging from very early flint to late maturing, in three locations, from the northern limit of culture for grain to good irrigated conditions of the southeastern part of France. The results show that the ovule number is mainly determined by genotypes and increases with lateness; means are as follows: F7 × F2, 338; WH × WJ, 448; W64A × F546, 589 ovules. The variation among environments is characterized by a CV of 9% but is not significant. Nevertheless a part of this variation seems to be explained by the duration, in terms of heat units, of the sowing-silking period.Key words: Zea mays L., ovule number, genotype-environment interaction

To study the effect of increases in plant density on the dry matter (DM) yield, percentage grain and percentage DM content of whole-plant maize (Zea mays L.), 12 tests were established over a 3-yr period in Central and Southern Ontario. Each test involved three adapted hybrids grown at 50 000, 63 000 and 75 000 plants/ha in 1976, and at these three densities plus 92 000 plants/ha in 1977 and 1978. No hybrid-by-density interaction for DM yield occurred in any test, and the density response was similar for most tests. Maximum DM yield was generally attained once density increased to 63 000 plant/ha. Plant population had a negligible effect on the grain percentage of DM content of forage up to 75 000 plants/ha. Optimum density for DM yield was much lower than expected, given the small stature (i.e., leaf area/plant) of adapted hybrids grown in most of Ontario.
