The study aimed to: assess the effects of plant densities in the behavior of genotypes of maize; Select the genotypes of greater adjustment and grain yield and better density of planting in the municipality of Rio Largo-AL. It was evaluated the genotypes: UFAL-1, UFAL-4, UFAL-5, UFAL-7, Sertanejo, Cruzeta and AL-30, and the densities: 55,555, 66,666, 77,777 and 88,888 plants.ha-1. Used randomized block design scheme in a split plot with three replicates. The plots (4 rows 18mx0, 9m) was formed by genotypes and the subplots (4.5 mx0 ranks, 9m) by densities, with one plant per pit. It was determined the variables: plant height and insertion of the 1st spike, the stem diameter, ear size and number of rows of grain in ear, index of ears and yield. The density of planting of 55,555 plants.ha-1 improved performance in the variables, plant height, diameter of the stem, size of the ear, index of spike and grain yield in genotypes; Genotypes AL-30 and UFAL-4 outperformed the others in grain yield; Low correlation of the variables studied with the yield; Lack of water during the flowering to maturity of the grains meant that the genotypes expressing its full potential.
