The treatments consists of 18 hybids. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments replicated thrice. The significantly highest plant height (169.75 cm), number of leaves ( 15. 75 ), dry weight (138.35 g/plant), CGR (0.0419 g/m2/day), number of cobs/plant (2.41), cob length (19.38 cm), number of Seeds/row (19.17/row), number of rows per cob (17.45), seed yield (5.24 t/ha) stover yield (11.13 t/ha) were recorded in hybrid M-702. Hybrid M-702 fetched maximum gross return (₹ 157200.00 /ha), net return (₹ 104105.00 /ha) and B:C ratio (1.96).
