Abstract

Twenty inbred lines of maize were evaluated by means of classical (Smith’s) and restricted selection indices. Both indices were based on variance components for the following characters: plant height, ear length, no. of rows per ear, no. of grains per ear and grain yield. The highest values of classical index were obtained for the lines 1450-9, 1470-12, 1487-1, 1511-1, K 182 and K 324. When restriction was imposed on ear length the most promising lines were K 324, K 182, 1471-8, 1470-12 and 1450-9. Lines having high values of both indices are suitable for developing single and double cross hybrid cultivars of maize.
