This paper presents the results of an analysis of maize seed production. A total of six hybrids were selected from two maturity groups (FAO 300 and FAO 600) produced in three locations (L1, L2, L3). The following commercially important seed traits and their variability were analyzed: 1000-seed mass and germination. The average 1000-seed mass of all the parameters examined amounted to 342.8 g, whereas the minimum and maximum masses recorded were 285.7 g and 370.5 g, respectively. In the FAO 300 hybrids, a 60:30 ratio of large to small seed fractions was recorded. Conversely, this ratio in the FAO 600 hybrids was not uniform. Seed germination of the hybrids examined was high (above 90 %). The highest effect on trait variability was recorded in the hybrid combination (η = 0.889 – seed mass, and η = 0.456 germination). Trait variations across locations and hybrid combinations are important for obtaining high yields and realizing the maximum potential of seed material.
