Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of national hybrids against international hybrids of hard yellow corn under the conditions of the Pativilca valley, Lima, Peru. Methodology: The agronomic trial was carried out in Pativilca (Lima, Peru). A randomized complete block design was used with 7 treatments, 3 national hybrids, 3 international and a control variety. For the comparison of means, the Tukey test was used, P=95%. The variables analyzed were: plant and ear height, male and female flowering, number of ears/ plot, number of rows/ ear and grains/ear, grain weight and yield. Results: The results show Marginal T28 with greater plant and ear height (235.35 and 124.5 cm). Regarding the male and female flowering days, Marginal 28T was the latest, whereas DK-7088 and Megahibrido 619 were the earliest. Likewise, DK-7088 obtained a greater number of ears/plot in addition to greater length (19.03 cm) and ear diameter (5.91 cm), and Megahibrido 619 (16.03 and 5.05 cm). Regarding the number of rows/ear and number of grains /row, DK-7088 (16.78 and 44.23) was the outstanding one. DK-7088 obtained the highest ear weight and highest yield with 14.44 t ha-1, followed by Pioneer 30F35 (13.15 t ha-1) and Megahibrido 619 (11.66 t ha-1). Conclusions: The hybrid DK-7088 and the national hybrid Megahibrido 619 have ideal agronomic characteristics for maize grain production in the conditions of the Pativilca valley, Lima, Peru.
