The coordinated varietal trial of quality protein maize was carried out in research station of
regional agricultural research station, Doti during 2011 / 12 and 2012/ 13 . A total of fourteen
entries including standard and local checks were included in the experiment of both years. Out
of tested entries of the year 2011 / 12, S99TL YQ-A produced the highest grain yield (2814
kg/ha) followed by SOJTLYQ-AB-01 (2765 kg/ha) and SOJTLYQ-AB-02 (2293 kg/ha). MST
AT C software was used in data analysis. Flowering days, plant height and grain yield due
to genotypes was found significant at 1-5% level. Amongst the tested entries include in the
experiment of the year 2012/ 13, S99TL YQ-AB recorded the highest grain yield (6006 kg!ha)
followed by SOJTLYQ-AB-01 (5409 kg/ha) and S99TLYQ-A (5330 kg/ha) . There was
significant difference in flowering days, plant height, ear height and grain yield due to
genotypes at 1-5 % level. Combined analysis over year was also carried out Genotypes
SOJTLYQ-AB-01 (4087 kg/ha), S99TLYQ-A (4072 kg/ha) and S99TLYQ-AB (3750 kg/ha)
identified as promising genotypes for lower hills and river basin agro-environment of far
western hills. Similarly, experiment on selection of drought tolerance maize genotypes was
also carried out at this research station during 2011/12 and 2012/13. Total I 05 genotypes of
maize were planted for selection of drought tolerance maize genotypes during 2011/12 and it
was replicated twice. Quantitative and qualitative traits were recorded for screening against
drought Out of the genotypes included in the experiment, Manakamana-4 was found super
variety in terms of grain yield ( 4561 kg/ha), leaf senescence (I) and leaf roll (I). Statistically,
plant height, ear height, flowering days and leaf senescence due to genotypes were found
significantly different Total eight genotypes were se lected for second year's drought tolerance
genotypes selection experiment and were planted in three replications. Out of the eight
genotypes included in the experiment, Upahar (6897 kg/ha), TLBRS07F 16 (6216 kg/ha) and
BLSBS07Fl2 (6215 kg/ha) were found superior in terms of grain yield.
