Optimum sowing date and most suitable hybrid are two main adaptation strategies for maize crop for managing the unfavorable weather circumstances. The objective of this research was to determine the optimum sowing date and hybrid during spring and autumn seasons. Field trials were carried out in spring and autumn seasons during 2016 and 2017 at Agronomic Research Area, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan. During spring season, three hybrids i.e., P-33M15, M-DK6525 and S-NK8441 were allocated in main plot and five sowing dates i.e., 15-January, 5- February, 25-February, 15-March and 5-April, were placed in sub plot during both years. During autumn growing season, three autumn hybrids i.e., P-30R50, MDK6714 and S-NK6621 were placed in main plot and five sowing dates i.e., 15-June, 05-July, 25-July, 15-August and 5-September, were applied in sub plot. Results showed that during spring season, hybrid P-33M15 performed well at sowing date 5- February as compared to other hybrids and sowing dates during 2016 and 2017. During autumn season, hybrid P-30R50 performed well at sowing date 25-July as compared to other hybrids and sowing dates in both years. In conclusion, for obtaining higher production, spring season is better as compared to autumn for maize crop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
