Keywords: Maize  hybrids  ;  winter  season Abstract: National Maize Research Program (NMRP) has initiated research to identify suitable maize hybrids developed by multinational companies for general cultivation as short-tenn strategy using the fund of respective seed company in central and eastern Tarai since last three years. In the process of evaluation, NMRP has assessed 69 and 56 hybrids in 2011 and 2012, respectively from 12 multinational companies in collaboration with RARS, Parwanipur and RARS, Tarahara during winter cropping season along with two OPVs and one hybrid check. The experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design with two replications at both locations in Rice-Maize cropping system and three replications at Rampur in Maize-Maize cropping system. Plot size was four rows of 5 m lengths with 75 em x 25 em (RR x PP) spacing and 160:60:40 kg ha"1 NPK, respectively. Five hybrids from three multinational companies and 11 hybrids from six multinational companies were registered in 2010 and 2011, respectively based on the infonnation provided by the respective seed company. Sixteen hybrids from twelve multinational seed companies were registered in 2012 based on the results of collaborative experiments conducted by National Maize Research Program.
