Abstract
A detailed analysis of genotype × environment interaction was carried out among yields of ten hybrids of maize grown at five localities in the years 1999–2000. Statistical analysis was performed using computer package Sergen 3. The hybrids were divided into 3 groups: depending on whether they yielded at the average level above or below a grand mean. The results allowed to identify five stable hybrids which can be recommended for cultivation across all environments in Poland.
