Poudel Maize, yield, growth, variety 14-20 9 (1) 2025 January, 2025 The field research was conducted from February to June 2024 at farmer’s field in maize zone, Sharnamati, Jhapa, Nepal with the objectives of evaluating different maize varieties in terms of yield and other agronomic traits and identifying promising farmers preferred maize varieties for eastern terai region of Nepal. Seven maize varieties collected from local agrovets were evaluated in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Results showed that all the studied varieties differed significantly from each other in terms of plant height, number of leaves, yield traits and phenological traits except days to 50% silking. Arun-2 was seen inferior in all the growth and yield attributing parameters. Out of tested varieties, 900m gold has shown the best result among all the used varieties based on adaptability and yield (11.80 tons/ha). Hence, 900m gold can be recommended to the farmers in Eastern Terai of Nepal.
