Abstract
Two field experiments were carried out at Sheiba village, Zagazig District, Sharkia Governorate
during 2005 and 2006 summer growing seasons to study the effect of row direction (two row direction
i.e. East-West (E-W) and North-South (N-S)) and plant arrangement i.e. (50 x 35, 60 x 29.1 and 70
x 25 cm) on growth, yield and yield attributes of two maize hybrids (SC 10 and SC 30 k8) single crosses.
Split-split plot design with four replicates was used. Results indicated that row direction North-south (N-S)
produced the highest light interception % (LIP%) at different height compared with row direction Eastwest.
The obtained results indicated that row direction at East-west (E-W) was superior than the other row
direction at North-south (N-S) on plant height, ear leaf area, LAI, ear height, ear length, ear diameter,
grain number/row and/ear, 100-grain weight, ear grain weight and grain yield/faddan. Results also showed
that the plant arrangement of ((70 x 25 produced the highest (LIP at 150 cm height and grain yield/faddan
followed by 60 x 29 and 50 x 35 the lowest grain yield/faddan on the other plant arrangement in the most
characters under this study. The obtained results revealed that the tested maize hybrids varied significantly
in plant height, ear leaf area, ear height, ear length, ear diameter, number of grains/row and /ear, 100 grain
weight, ear grain weight and finally grain yield/faddan. The single cross 10 (SC10) surpassed than the
other one (SC 30 K8).
