Abstract
Genetic variability of agricultural traits of maize inbred lines is a valuable trait that is useful in breeding practice, especially for selecting parental lines to achieve the effect of heterosis. Twenty-four hybrids obtained from crossing 6 inbred lines with 4 dent lines were analyzed. The experiment was carried out in two localities (Kobierzyce and Smolice), using a randomized block design with two replications. Lodging at harvest, smut resistance, dry matter content and grain yield were evaluated. The of analysis variance showed significant differences between localities in all the traits as well as differences in two traits within Kobierzyce, and in three traits within Smolice localities. The analysis of combining ability reviled significant interaction of GCA and SCA with the environments affecting dry matter content and grain yield. A female line 1294-7 is noteworthy, as it influenced both a grain yield and dry matter content. Hybrid 1044-87 × S335 was characterized by a high yield and high content of dry matter.
