Early populations trial (EPOP), Intermediate yield trials (IYTE) Co-ordinated Varietal trials
(CVTE) were conducted at different locations during 2000-2001 in summer and winter to identify the
high J ielding, disease free early and extra early maize genotypes. Two sets of E;POP consisting 10
.and 15 genotypes evaluated at Rampur and .?-umle respectively during 2000 summer. Farmers local
