This s tudy was conducted to determine some experimental silage yield and quality traits of maize hybrid to be improved
by using hybrid breeding. This s tudy was carried out with 15 experimental maize hybrids in 2012 and with 8 pieces in
2013 in Samsun. This s tudy was carried out in the Randomised Complete Block Design(RCBD)with three replications.
Genotypes’ number of days for 50 % flowering, plant height, leaf/plant ratio, s talk/plant ratio, ear/plant ratio green
forage yield and dry matter yield traits were inves tigated. Inadditon, the traits of silage crude protein, crude cellulose,
ADF,NDF,ADL and crude protein yield were inves tigated. When examined traits were evaluated all together (ripening
period, green forage yield, dry matter yield, and silage quality traits), TTM 2011-29, TTM 2011-28, TTM2011-36, TTM
2011-35 ve TTM 2011-7 genotypes, passed the control or involved in the same s tatis tical group, were accepted as the
promising varieties and they (TTM 2011-29, TTM 2011-28, TTM2011-36, TTM 2011-35 ve TTM 2011-7) were sent
to locations to determine genotype x environment interaction for the purpose of tes ting within the scope of National
Maize Breeding Researches.
