Abstract
This research is about behavioral study of 25 maize genotypes Zea mays L. that have undergone
selection programs for agronomic traits related to biotic and abiotic stress. The objective was to assess
the performance of these maize populations under the North African Mediterranean climate. Through
the analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was observed that agronomic traits exhibited significant and
noteworthy variations in earliness, plant length, vigor, thousand-grain weight (TGW), protein content,
and grain yield, The results obtained indicate that the evaluated genotypes are suitable candidates for
integration into a breeding program with Algerian landraces. This integration aims to develop resilient
varieties that are adapted to Mediterranean conditions of Algiers, Algeria.
