Various quantitative and qualitative traits of 12 single-cross maize hybrids were studied over a two year period at three plant densities at five locations in Hungary. The results confirmed that both the protein and the oil content depended on the environment, but the environment had a greater effect on the protein content than on the oil content. In many cases the protein content of the samples differed to a significantly greater extent between the locations than the oil content. A close correlation was found between the plant spacing and the chemical quality parameters. The protein and oil content of the kernels was greater at lower plant density.
