Brazil is the third largest producer of the grain, with plantations in several regions. In Sergipe the culture has been widely exploited, however, some regions face difficulties to achieve good results in grain production, choosing the correct cultivar helps to minimize losses. Therefore, the objective of the research was to evaluate the characteristics of corn hybrids for grain in the Sergipe semi-arid region regarding its productivity and biometry. The experiment took place in lot 2N-01, of Sector 3, of the California Irrigated Perimeter, located in the city of Canindé de São Francisco, under randomized block design, with thirteen treatments and four repetitions. The treatments were twelve corn hybrids: BM930 PRO3, BM855 PRO2, BM990 VIP3, BM815 PRO2, BM270 PRO2, BM709 PRO2, BM880 PRO3, BM3066 PRO2, K7500 VIP3, K9606 VIP3, K9555 VIP3, K7510 VIP3; and one variety: BRS Gorutuba. After physiological maturity, the evaluated characteristics were: plant height to the stem, stem diameter, ear insertion height, ear length, ear diameter, number of grain rows, grain mass per ear, 100-grain mass, and grain yield. Hybrid K7510 showed the best result for plant to ear height (260.72 cm). For ear insertion height, two groups were formed. Hybrids K7500 VIP3 and BM3066 PRO2 stood out in the ear diameter variable with averages of (5.56 cm and 5.46, respectively). For the number of grain rows, hybrid BM990 VIP3 stood out (19.70 units). Regarding the weight of one hundred grains, most hybrids formed a group with better performance and for productivity, only the free-pollinated variety had an average well below the other cultivars (6,964.29 kg ha-1).ptSemiáridoIrrigadoGenótipoSemiaridZea Mays LIrrigatedGenotypeTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS AGRARIAS
