Abstract:Jidan 83 is a maize hybrid developed by Jilin Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Jilin Jinong Hitech Development Co., Ltd. in 2019, with the characteristics of high yield, stress resistance, and wide adaptability. From 2016 to 2017, it participated in the regional trials of the Northeast China-North China Medium Maturity Spring Maize Group Consortium, with an average yield of 12 492.0 kg/ha over two years, which was 3.0% higher than that of the control variety Xianyu 335. In 2018, it participated in the production trials, with an average yield of 12 382.5 kg/ha, representing a 5.4% increase compared to Xianyu 335. The number of plots with yield increase accounted for 75.3% of the total plots in both regional and production trials. Inoculation tests confirmed that it had moderate resistance to northern leaf blight, gray leaf spot, stalk rot, and ear rot. The kernel bulk density was 784 g/L, which was 64 g/L higher than the national Grade I grain standard, and the crude protein content was 10.92%. The breeding and application of Jidan 83 promote the renewal of maize varieties in Northeast China and provide germplasm support for safeguarding national food security.
