Evaluation of ZP maize hybrids as double crops

Double-crop systems have the potential to generate additional feedstocks for bioenergy and livestock utilization, and also to reduce NO3–N leaching relative to sole-crop systems. Four early maturity ZP maize hybrids was selected to evaluate the potential for grain and biomass production under double-cropping conditions. The dry matter production, grain yield and harvest index were investigated. The hybrid ZP172 has the highest total and biomass fresh weight as well as total and biomass dry matter. Harvest index diff er between hybrids. The highest harvest index has hybrid ZP173 and this hybrid is good for grain, as well as hybrid ZP172 with the lowest harvest index is good for biomass production.
