Abstract
Studies were carried out on 20 inbred maize lines at two locations: Kobierzyce and Smolice. The following characters: plant height, ear length, no. of rows/ear, no. of' grains/ear and grain weight/ear were included in the construction of three selection indices: specific (Is), foreign (IO) and general (IOG). The results indicated that specific index was the most efficient. Expected genetic advance was lower when foreign index was used. Adequate evaluation of general index could not be made because of insufficient experimental data.
