A new Single cross Pop corn hybrid IHPC-1203 was developed at Main Maize Research Station, AAU, Godhra, Gujarat and it was evaluated across the locations all over India during Kharif 2016 to Kharif 2018. This hybrid involves two diversified inbred parentsi.eIGPF-21 as female and IGPM-23 as male parent. It yielded on an average 38.76 Q/ha popcorn yield and found 24.8 % superior in yield over the check VL Amber popcorn in the North West Peninsular Zone (NWPZ). It yielded on an average 32.94 Q/ha popcorn yield and it is found 30.6 % superior in yield over the check VL Amber popcorn in North East Peninsular Zone (NEPZ) and it yielded on an average 49.22 Q/ha popcorn yield and found 26.1 % superior in yield over the check VL Amber popcorn in the Peninsular Zone (PZ). The quality point of view, this hybrid having high popping (92 %) and popping volume (213 ml/ cm3) and it contains starch 75.55 (%), β- carotene 6.193 (ppm) and tryptophan 0.104 (%). This hybrid shows degree of resistant to major diseases in artificial condition in all the zone. It exhibited moderate resistant against MLB and charcoal rot in NWPZ. Moderate resistance against C. Rot, P. rust and TLB diseases in PZ. Same way this hybrid exhibited varying degree of resistance to stem borer Chillopartellus in artificial condition. It exhibited moderate resistance against Chillopartellus in all three zone. Based on the overall performance and superiority over national check VL Amber Pop corn, it is identified and recommended to release for Kharif cultivation in the NEPZ, NWPZ and PZ in India.
