This study was conducted in Çankırı Karatekin University, Kızılırmak Vocational High School, Research and Application Field, in 2012 and 2013. The aim of the study is examining the growth of different field plants in fields where paddy is grown continuously, and ensuring the alternation of these crops with paddy. 15 dent corn types were used in the study, and the experiments were conducted according to the randomblocks design with three replicates. According to the results obtained after two years, statistically significant differences were observed in terms of characteristics of the maize cultivars except for the first ear height. The grain yield values of the cultivars varied between 899-1193 kg/da; the flowering times varied between 70.8-74.7 days; the plant height varied between 269-298 cm; the first ear heights varied between 95-117cm; the moisture of the grains at harvest varied between 21.1-26.6%; the grain/ear rate values varied between 81.8-86.8%; the ear length values varied between 20.5-24.6 cm; and the maturation times varied between 123-128 days. According to these results, it is possible to claim that mazie cultivation can easily be performed in Middle Kızılırmak Basin
