Abstract

The adaptation capacity of the corn hybrids can be a fair criteria of zoning them. Because of this reason, in the present work follows the adaptation capacity of a set of 10 Romanian hybrids cultivated in the SCDA Simnic area and in the climatic conditions of the years 2004, 2005, 2006. In the year 2004 we confronted with a severe drought type characterized by a deficit in rainfalls during the whole period of vegetation of the corn, and in 2006, with another type of drought, less severe, characterized by a deficit in rainfalls only in the first part of the vegetation period. In these conditions, the hybrids HSF616-02 and Brates proved that they have the best capacity of adaptation. From the agronomics point of vie the F376 and F322 hybrids were remarked.
