Information on the local populations is essential in crop improvement. The objectives of the experiment were to evaluate some local maize landraces in farmers fields and to determined diversity for morphological ear parameters. The our expedition during the year 2008 was observe and identify five locations at the different part of Kosova; Podujevë-L1, Sllatinë-L2, Klinë-L3,A Ferizaj-L4 dhe Fushë Kosovë-L5. The experimental design was based on Split-Plot methods. This study shows significant variability and diversity between landraces for ear parameters. Following the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and comparisons based on the least significant difference (LSD), the results indicate tha the best (higher) average value for EW (214.96 g), EL (18.78 cm). RNE (11.6), KW (43.36 g) and GYE (190.54 g) was obtained at the Locality 4 (L4). In relation to the agronomic characteristics and statistical data there was higher significantly different at p=0.01. A certain level of diversity was found in plant and ear parameters will be needed in the future for a complete characterization.
