Sohel Mahmud and Jamilur Rahman *Corresponding author, E-mail:jafarullahsau@gmail.com Abstract A study was carried out at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University farm to evaluate the performance of seedling transplantation of four white maize hybrids (Changnuo-1, Q-Xiannuo-1, Changnuo-6 and Yangnuo-7) under two planting geometries (D 1 =Row to row spacing 75 cm and plant to plant spacing within each row 25 and D 2 = Row to row spacing 60 cm and plant to plant spacing within each row 25). D 1 had 55 whereas D 2 had 66.666 thousands plants per hectare. Results showed that varieties differed significantly in days to maturity showing the earliest (108 days) with the Yangnuo-7. Other varieties matured in between 135-137 days. Number of grains cob -1 was the highest with Changnuo-6 (419) whereas, t...
