Present experiment was conducted to compare the production of eight different available maize hybrids (MMRI-523, Rafhan-2303, Poineer-3062, FSH-421, Poineer-32B33, Monsanto-919, HG-3740 and Rafhan-2315) during autumn. The experiment was laid out in randomized completer block design with four replications having a net plot size 7.5m x 3m. Data regarding growth and yield parameters were collected and analyzed by the standard procedures. The results shows that data regarding plant population was non significant. Maximum plant height (206.00 cm) was recorded in maize hybrid Poineer-32B33 and minimum plant height (173.75 cm) was observed in Rafhan-2303. Maximum number of cobs per plant (1.20) was recorded in HG-3740 and poinner-32B33 and minimum number of cobs per plant (1.00) was found in Rafhan-2315, Monsanto-919 and MMRI. Maximum cob length (22.92 cm) was found in HG-3740 and minimum cob length (15.47 cm) was found in Rafhan-2315. Maximum number of grain rows per cob (18) was
