A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research and Development Station (ARDS) Simnic - Craiova during 2019 in rain fed condition, consisting of eight Romanian maize hybrids, to evaluate for grain yield and other agronomic traits. According to results: plant height between 189.5 cm (Turda 201) and 264 cm (Olt), ear height 79.5 cm (Turda 200) and 113.5 cm (F 423), thousand grain weight 230 g (Turda 200, Turda 201) and 306 g (Olt), hectolitre mass 61.1 kg/hl (Turda 332) and 74.4 kg (Turda Star), grain yield 4285.7 kg/ha (Turda 165) and 5432.1 kg/ha (Turda 200), was found. The hybrids Turda 200 (5432.1 kg/ha), Olt (5428 kg/ha) and F 376 (5378.6 kg/ha) produced significantly highest grain yield as compared to the average (control). Thus, it was concluded from the study that, the hybrids Turda 200, Olt and F376 have been found suitable for this region.
