Abstract：Maize kernel dehydration rate after maturity and kernel moisture content at harvest time are the important indexes influencing mechanical harvest. One hundred and eighty-five maize inbred lines were used in this study to detect the kernel moisture content at maturity and harvest stages, respectively. Then the kernel dehydration rate after maturity was analyzed. According to the kernel dehydration speed, all the tested inbred lines were divided into four types including fast, faster, lower and low. The results could provide references for breeding new maize varieties with low kernel moisture content at harvest stage and suitable for mechanical harvest.
