This study was conducted at the farm of the Faculty of Agriculture in Kharabo during 2011 2012 growing season. RCB design with two replicates was used and the correlation and regression relationship among characters were tested. Results showed that plant and ear heights were both positively correlated with some quantitative characters (number of kernels per row، number of rows per ear, 100 kernel Wight, and kernels weight per ear). Regression results also showed that the increase in plant and ear height was associated with an increase in number of rows per ear, kernels weight per ear and 100 kernel wight. It was concluded that plant height and/or ear height can be used as a direct selection index for number of rows per ear, kernels weight per ear and 100 kernel wight.

This study was conducted at the farm of Faculty of Agricultural-Kharabo as an intensive planting during 2011 and 2012 growth seasons. Using RCB design with two replications to study some genetic indices and simple linear correlation between yield and quality traits of 79 families selected from Sh population, improved by Full-sib selection. Results revealed that traits, silking days, protein percentage and oil percentage were affected by additive gene action while plant height and starch percentage were affected by non-additive gene action. Results also revealed that grain yield showed positive significant correlation with starch percentage (r=0.94*) and negative significant correlation with plant height (r=-0.95*) and protein percentage (r=-0.52*) indicating that less selection cycles are needed to improve families with high yield and starch percentage contents with early silking days (intensive planting) and medium plant height (machining cropper).
Objective of this work was to investigate how plant density and nitrogen rate affects the growth , yield and its components in maize (Bassel 2 hybrid). The experiment was carried out, at the agricultural research centre in Snoubar Jableh, during t he 2008 and 2009 seasons, included 12 treatments which were the combination three plant population densities 71428/ha, 57142/ha, and 47619/ha and four N rates (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg/ha). The experimental design was a split-plot, with different densities as main plots, randomized in three complete blocks, and the fertilization as subplots. The data were analyzed by using “Mstat” statistical package. Increasing planting population density delayed anthesis and silking date, increased the anthesis-silking interval, plant height, ear height, grain yield, agronomic nitrogen efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency, but decreased ear leaf area, chlorophyll content, 1000 seed weight, number of grains/ear, shelling percentage (%), and grain protein content. Nitrogen fertilizer decreased tassilling and silking date, and nitrogen use efficiency, increasing plant and ear height, ear leaf area, chlorophyll content, number of grains/ear, ear weight,1000-grains weight, Shelling percentage, grain yield up to 120 kg N/ha, agronomic nitrogen efficiency and grain protein content.
The study was carried out at Abo Jarash farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus University, during the growing season of 2012, where the maize cultivar "Gouta 1" was grown in three agricultural spacings (20, 30 and 40 cm between plants in the same row), with a fixed space (70 cm) between rows, according to the randomized complete block design and three replicates per treatment, in order to study the effect of the studied agricultural spacing on the following characters: plant height, length and weight of ear, number of kernel rows per ear, number and weight of kernels per ear, net percentage, hundred kernels weight, the kernel yield, the dry yield and the oil and protein contents in the kernels. Results showed a significant decrease in plant height from 155.31 to 130.10 cm, while a significant increase was observed in number of kernels per ear (from 310.05 to 373.82 kernels), in weight of kernels per ear (from 41.20 to 65.17 g) and in net percentage (from 61.61 to 91.51 %), respectively with the increase of agricultural spacing from 20 to 40 cm. However, the increase in these characters didn’t substitute the small number of plants in the vast spacing compared with the narrow spacing, which is reflected in kernel yield per unit of area that amounted to 3.19 and 2.04 tons/ha, respectively.
The experiment was carried out at two planting dates in a Randomized Complete Blocks Design with three replications at Maize Research Department, General Commission for Scientific Agriculture Researches (G.C.S.A.R.) Damascus, Syria, during two cro pping season 2011 and 2012 to study the phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation, heritability, genetic advance, phenotypic correlation and path coefficient analysis for grain yield per plant, its components and the height of plant and ear of two maize hybrids (IL.292-06 × IL.565-06, IL.459-06 × IL.362-06).
This research was carried out during the agricultural season 2014 in the Buqai'a plain in west of Homs governorate, to study the effect of several systems for intercropping on Corn crop (Zea mays L.( and Soybean crop (Glycine max L.): (Zea mays li ne : Soybean line) (Zea mays line : Two Soybean lines) (Two Zea mays lines + Soybean line) ( Two Zea mays lines + Two soybean lines) (Single Zea mays crop), (Single soybean crop).
