The combining abilities for yield of five local (Yugoslav) and three synthetic varieties of maize were investigated. The results showed that the additive genetic effect was of primary importance for yield of these populations. Synthetic varieties had better general combining abilities (GCA) than domestic (Yugoslav) populations. No heterotic pattern was observed among domestic (Yugoslav) varieties. Two opposite composites can be made from the investigated populations. The best method of improvement with these composites would be: first mass selection, than 1 or 2 cycles of S1 family selection and finally reciprocal recurrent selection for yield.
