Paper Summary

The study evaluated seven maize hybrids in different locations in Pakistan to see which ones had the most stable grain yields. They found that ICI-974 and Pioneer-3025 were the top-performing hybrids, with ICI-974 being the most stable across locations. Nowshera and Mansehra were the best locations for testing maize hybrids, while Peshawar was not as representative. Overall, ICI-974 and Pioneer-3025 are the best choices for growing maize in these areas.
