In: The Bulletin Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University 2004.v.55(2)Summary: Toshka and East EI-Ewinat projects are two agricultural giant projects, which are being executed in the South Valley and south west of Egypt, respectively to cultivate large areas of the desert. This is the first time to cultivate maize in both areas. Therefore, the main objectives of these investigations were to identify the highest yielding adapted maize hybrids under some agronomic practices using drip and central pivot irrigation systems. At Toshka, experiments were carried out at Abo-Sembel Research Station. Results of a demonstration trial indicated that the superior maize hybrids were SC 129, TWC 321 and SC 120 which yielded 30.32, 29.63 and 28.22 ard/fed, respectively. For planting dates trial, planting maize between March IS and April I, and/or JulyI5 to Aug. I were suitable to produce the highest grain yield. In this respect, SC 10 and SC 129 gave the highest grain yield in 2001 and 2002. Six out of 16 white grain hybrids i.e. SC 10, SC 129, SC Watan-4, TWC 310, TWC 320 and TWC 321 produced the highest yields. Also, TWC 352 gave the highest grain yield as compared with two other yellow maize hybrids. At East EI-Ewinat region, research was conducted in cooperation with the Horticulture Service Unit. Results on large-scale planting yellow maize hybrids indicated that the average grain yield
