Abstract
Thirty maize genotypes were studied in RCBD with three replication for the
variability and character association of yield and yield related traits at Sher-eBangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during January to May, 2019.
Significant variations were observed among the genotypes for all the traits
studied. Among the genetic parameters, high GCV values were observed for
kernels per cob
