—A field experiment was conducted during 2014 and 2015 rainy season at Tudun Wada, Kano and Samaru, Zaria in the Northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria in order to study the Effect of plant population on the growth of hybrid-maize. The experiment consisted of two plant populations of 53,333 plantha-1 and 88,888 plantsha-1 as main plot and 8 drought–tolerant maize hybrids and 2 controls as sub-plot laid out in a randomized split plot design and replicated three times. Growth responses were significantly affected by plant populations at both locations. Interaction between hybrids and plant population was significantly affected. Based on these results, increasing plant population significantly increased the physiological activities and decrease the phenology of hybrid-maize. However newer hybrids were more tolerant to high plant population than the older hybrids. Therefore the recently released hybrids were more adapted to biotic stresses.
