Abstract:

To screen new fresh-eating maize varieties with good economic benefits suitable for cultivation in Southern Jiangxi, 15 fresh-eating maize varieties were collected for a comparative variety test. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted on their growth period, agronomic traits, yield, disease resistance, and insect resistance. The results showed that Mintian 986, Guitian 571, Guitiannuo 631, and Fengmeijia 66 demonstrated outstanding performance in Southern Jiangxi. They exhibited suitable growth period, good marketability, relatively high yield, and strong disease and insect resistance. These varieties can be prioritized for promotion in Southern Jiangxi to facilitate the large-scale and specialized development of the fresh-eating maize industry.
