Description Maize (Zea mays L.), known as the queen of cereals, is the third most important cereal crop in the world. It is grown from 58degN latitude without interruption through the temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions of the world to 40degS latitude, covering regions with rainfall varying from 250 to 1000 mm per annum (Hallauer and Miranda, 1988). Mainly, it is a crop of tropical and subtropical areas but can be cultivated successfully under temperate climate conditions, such as in dry temperate region of Himachal Pradesh. Maize grains and stalk are used for food, feed, fodder and even fuel. Apart from domestic consumption, it also provides raw materials for the production of several industrial products.
