Varietal improvement and selection passes through a series of field experiments that includes Observations Nursery (OBN), Initial Evaluation Trial (IET), Coordinated Varietal Trial (CVT) and Coordinated Farmers’ Field Trial (CFFT). Poor access to farmers’ preferred high yielding open pollinated maize varieties and their effective dissemination has been one of the major concern over mid-hill domain of Nepal. Field experiments were conducted to assess and select the elite full season open pollinated maize genotypes suitable for central hills of Nepal during 2015 and 2016. The trials were evaluated under Khumaltar condition as coordinated varietal trial tested in RCBD with three replications. Manakamana-3 was used as standard check while Khumal Yellow was used as Farmers’ Local variety. Significant differences were observed among different maize genotypes regarding various traits like days to 50% tasseling and silking, plant and ear numbers per plot for the tested genotypes over both the years. Grain yield was found significantly different among the tested FS genotypes over both the years. The highest grain yield was observed for Rampur S03F08 (11.103 Mt/ha) followed by Rampur S13F28 (10.139 Mt/ha), Rampur S10F20 (9.343 Mt/ha) and Manakamana-3 (9.293 Mt/ha). The elite genotypes selected over both the years will be promoted in the further evaluation in subsequent years with regard to further verification and dissemination over the central-hill farmers of Nepal.
