Abstract
Breeding of maize hybrids in Poland has got only a 50-year history, but the basis for its present achievements was founded as early as in the interwar period and just after the Second World War. In this paper, the people who put the “corner stones” of domestic maize hybrid breeding are mentioned. The importance of such events as: developing of the first Polish varietal hybrid Wiel-Wi in 1957, developing of the first DC (1967), TC (1977) and SC (1994) hybrids has been emphasized. The creating of early and high yielding hybrids made possible to cultivate of maize in the northern part of Poland not only for silage usage but also for grain. It may be concluded based on the results of the postregistered trials done in the years 1999–2001 that new Polish hybrids are competitive to the foreign ones. Polish hybrids share about 40 per cent of the domestic maize market. The importance of cooperation both with foreign and Polish commercial and scientific institutions for further development of Polish maize breeding has also been stressed in the paper. The main problems of practical breeding to be solved in the nearest future are outlined.
