Abstract

• The field experiment with seed priming technique and organic fertilizer treatments was carried out at the Maubin University, Ayeyarwaddy Region from January 2022 to May 2022 using the seven various cultivars seeds of Zea mays L. (Corn). In this experiment, study on the total of seven cultivars of corn was collected from two different localities within Ayeyarwaddy and Yangon Regions. According to the experiment, the first germination percentage (Pan – pyaung) are the best in germination percentage, (A- Kaut gyi) and (Y- Sat kyar) are the lowest germination percentage although local varieties have a germination percentage of over 90%. In the second germination percentage, except Pan, the other varieties are more than 95% and Pan is the lowest. The experiment showed that the reproductive growth of (Y - Nga chaik) is the highest reproductive growth and (Pan - pyaung) plants is the lowest. (Y - Lay tan) and (Y- Sat kyar) are the medium reproductive growth. Among them, (Y- Nga chaik) is better than other varieties. (Y- Nga chaik) is weather resistant and has good yield for this region. So, it is a local variety that should be planted. Therefore, it is recommended that the (Y- Nga chaik) is strong and resistant local variety. Because it is economically beneficial of the farmers, it should be cultivated.
