Abstract
Twelve early to medium maturity maize hybrids were observed at two locations during 2010. to assess the phenotypic correlations among grain yield and six quantitative traits. Significant variations for grain yield and all investigated traits was found at probability level of P=0.05. Plant height showed the strongest positive correlation with grain yield (rp=0.521**) followed by number of leaves per plant (rp= 0.394**), while positive phenotypic correlations was recorded between grain yield and all of the investigated traits.
