Abstract: During 2024, maize trials were set up at two locations: Raţa Kragujevacka and Sombor with two maize hybrids: H1-BC 306 and H2-BC Klipan, in four replications. The influence of hybrids and locality on the morphological characteristics and components of maize a thousand grain mass was examined. The following parameters were tested: maize plant height, cob length and 1000 grain mass. Genotype and locality had a statistically significant effect on the 1000 grain mass, plant height and maize cob length. The average 1000 grain mass in both locations was 317.5 g for the H1 maize hybrid and 387.5 g for the H2 hybrid. The results showed that higher values of the tested maize parameters were recorded in hybrid H2 compared to hybrid H1. At the Sombor location, higher values of the tested hybrids for the 1000 grain mass were recorded compared to the Raţa Kragujevacka location, while at the Raţa Kragujevacka location, higher values were recorded for plant height and maize cob length for hybrid H1 (219.5 cm; 19.65 cm) and hybrid H2 (228.1 cm; 24.45 cm). Based on the obtained results, it is evident that both maize hybrids achieved satisfactory results in both localities.
