Maize, also known as corn, is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago.Maize is known as queen of cereals because it has the highest genetic yield potential among the cereals.

Maize does well on a wide range of climatic conditions, and it is grown in the tropical as well as temperate regions, from sea-levels up to altitudes of 2500m. It is however susceptible to frost at all stages of its growth.Maize can be grown successfully in variety of soils ranging from loamy sand to clay loam.
