Abstract
Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L., 2n=20.) has worldwide significance as human food, animal feed and as raw material for the manufacture of hundreds of industrial products. Presently, maize is being used mainly for feed (63 per cent), food (23 per cent), starch industries (12 per cent) and seed and miscellaneous use (2 per cent) in India. It is estimated that by 2025, India would require 50 MT maize grain, of which 32 MT would be required in the feed sector, 15 MT in the industrial sector, 2 MT as food, and 1 MT for seed and miscellaneous purposes (Yadav et al. 2016 ).
