Recently Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) has
developed and released a new hybrid maize variety "Rampur Hybrid-2",
which was developed by crossing of RML-4 (CA00326) and NML-2 (CML-430). This
Rampur Hybrid-2 can be cultivated and is suited for the Terai and Inner Terai
(Madesh) region of Nepal. It can produced as high as 7 t/ha of grains when
planted in September-Octover with adquate supply of plant nutrients (120:60:40
kg N,P2O5,K2O) along with 10-15 t/ha of compost and good management with plant
population of 66,666 plants (NMRP, 2012).
Adhikary et al. (2012) reported that it can yield as high
as 11.10 t/ha of grains when supplied with 180:60:40 kg N,P2O5,K2O along with
10-15 t/ha of compost at the plant population of 83,383 plants/ha. This hybrid
maize can be harvested within 120-130 days.
