Abstract

Mali is a developing country where the agricultural sector occupies approximately more than 80% of the population. The lack of structure specialized in the production of improved seeds and the organization of producers, the irregularity and the poor distribution of the rains constitute a concern for all the actors concerned. This work is based on the agronomic performance maize hybrids. It is a question of producing hybrid varieties from lines resulting from the local populations of Mali. In this work, trials were conducted in Sotuba with 20 genotypes in two planting dates. Genotypes were composed of single cross hybrids having two testers in common, namely TZI1876 and V481-73. Proper choice of parents for hybridization is a necessity for the development of high yielding maize varieties. Twelve morphological and agronomic traits were studied in a lines/testers crossing scheme where the testers were females and the lines were males. The general objective of this study is to contribute to increase maize productivity in Mali Sudano-Sahelian zone. The experimental design was Randomized complete Block Design. The observations focused on following traits: Plant height, day to anthesis, day to silk, plant height, ear height, plants aspect, ears aspect, and grain yield. The analysis of variance showed a significant difference for ear height, day to anthesis, day to silk, grain yield, plant aspect. The best hybrid was TZI1876/1368+PAC.
