Abstract:

To enrich the variety of fresh waxy maize in Yuyao and select high-quality, high-yield, and palatable varieties, 17 waxy maize varieties were comparatively analyzed in terms of growth period, plant and fresh ear agronomic traits, yield, and edible quality. The results showed that all tested varieties exhibited good adaptability and marketable fresh ears. Varieties such as Zhenuoyu 24, Caitiannuo 6, Kenuo 6, and Sukenuo 1801 demonstrated higher yields, with a yield per 667 m2 exceeding 1 500.0 kg. Varieties including Jingtiannuo 807, Xiandimeina, Caitiannuo 6, Hangnuoyu 21, Meiyu 17, Baiselianren, and Jiahuatiannuo 8 exhibited a sweet and waxy taste with excellent edible quality, making them suitable for promotion as quality-oriented varieties. Zhenuoyu 24, Kenuo 6, and Sukenuo 1801, having average taste, showed high yields and could be promoted as yield-oriented waxy maize varieties.
