Abstract This study examined the biomass production, yield attributing characteristics and nutritive value of maize hydroponics at Chitwan, Nepal from 23, March 2021 to 4, April 2021. Five improved varieties of maize were arranged in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments as T1 (Manakamana6), T2 (ZM 401), T3 (Manakamana 3), T4 (Arun 2) and T5 (Deuti), each replicated five times. Sample were collected on the 12th day for proximate nutrient analysis. Morphological characteristics assessment and Biomass yield analysis was performed at the day of harvesting. Data were subjected to analysis of variance by Minitab 2017 and Duncans Multiple Range Test was used for mean separation at 5% level of significance. The whole plant green and dry biomass yield (Kg/m2) was significantly higher (p<0.01) in ZM 401 than other varieties while Manakamana-03 was the tallest (p<0.001) maize variety. Similarly, ZM 401 was superior in terms of nutrient composition too with CP (10.44%), CF (29.55%), OM (94.64%) and total ash (5.36%). Specifically, Arun 2 contained higher CP (11.31%) but were poor from biomass yield view point. The result showed that the crude protein content of root and shoot of different maize varieties were similar while crude fibre and total ash were higher (p<0.01) in shoots but organic matters in root ((p<0.05). Therefore, these findings collectively underscore ZM 401 as a standout choice for maize hydroponics due to its superior biomass yield and favorable growth attributes, potentially informing cultivation decisions for optimized hydroponic maize production.
