With the objective of identifying suitable high yielding maize early OPVs for hills of
Nepal, a series of experiments viz. IYT, CVT and CFFT were conducted using early
genotypes of maize at Pakhribas, Lumle and Dailekh during summer season of 20 l 0, 2011
and 2012. The combined analysis of genotypes evaluated across the locations under IYT
early set in 2010 summer showed that the genotypes AC0-240 11 AC0-2402, ACROSS-
240 1, Rampur S03 E02 high yielding and good for other agronomic traits. The genotype
under CVT, the promising genotypes were POP-45/POOL-17,R.C./ POOL-17 and
S97TEYGHA YB(3) across the locations. Similarly, in CFFT the promising genotypes
across the locations were Arun-4, Arun-1 EV and Arun-2. During 2011 under CVT
promising significantly high yielding genotypes across the locations were POP-44/POOL-
15 and KHUMAL Yellow/POOL-17. Similarly in CFFT, the genotypes Arun-lEV and
Arun-2 found superior for grain yield and other agronomic traits across the locations. The
result from 2012 revealed that in CVT the promising high yielding genotypes were Khumal
yellow/Pool-17E, Rampur composite/Pool-17E, Arun-2 and Pop-445 across the locations.
Similarly in IYT significantly superior genotypes for grain yield and other traits were
S03TEY/LN, S03TEY-SEQ and RarnpurS03E02. Furthermore in CFFT across the
locations the significantly best genotypes for grain yield and other agronomic traits were
Farmer's local, Arun-4 and Arun-2.
