The maize productivity on dry land area was affected by environmental factors, variety and the crop managements. The field experiment was conducted in the farmer's field in Guguk village, 50 Kota Regency, West Sumatra Province in the planting season 2002 (June to October 2002). The experiment was designed in randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of five technology packages of maize (A, B, C, D and E packages). The result showed that C package (land preparation zero tillage, variety was planted C7 hybrid, 2 seeds/hole, fertilizer used 250 kg Urea, 150 kg SP36, and 150 kg KC/ha + 2,5 t animal manure/ha) gave better plant growth, higher number of seeds/row and grain yield/ha. The C package yielded 7.980 t/ha maize, but in the economic analysis B package was the most profitable among treatments observed.
