A comparative analysis of the corn hybrids cultivated mainly in the western part of Romania, highlights the quality of the hybrids created in research institutions in Romania. Compared to foreign commercial hybrids, a series of commercial hybrids created at ARDS Lovrin - western Romania, ARDS Turda - central Transylvania and NIARD Fundulea - south of the country, representative agricultural areas of the country, were analyzed in this paper. The protein content (%) and oil content (%) of 28 hybrids sown in a demonstration plot, located at SCDA Lovrin, were analyzed. Of the 28 hybrids, 14 belong to research institutions in Romania and 14 to private seed-producing companies. The comparative analysis, based on the average values, of the data series for the Romanian hybrids from Lovrin, Turda and Fundulea, with the data series of the foreign hybrids, showed that the differences showed statistical certainty for the hybrids from Lovrin in the case of protein and content of oil, and for hybrids from Turda in the case of oil content. In relation to the median value, the differences did not show statistical certainty.References
