ABSTRACT: This study was conducted in gedarif research station farm for two seasons
in 2011 and 2012. The objective was to find the relationship among genotypes
yield from dry matter and rain fall amount and distribution. The results showed
significant differences for the five types of maize at two parameters. This was
indicated by number of leaves and dry weight. The results showed highly significant
differences between the two species and the rest of the other on the both
season 2011 and 2012. The study concluded that, maize varity and genotype can be
used as indicators for plant yield and biomass as proved in the crop of the study.
The study recommended that varity Hudiba I and Hudiba 2 can be used as practical
mean to assess utilization level as expressed by growth performance indicators including
dry matter and biomass from maize varity forage crop.
