In order to screen out drought resistant and high-yield maize varieties which is suitable for planting in different ecological types of soil, 16 conventional maize hybrids were used to carry out water stress test with light chernozem and black soil in movable rainproof shed in Gongzhuling. The results showed that plant height, ear length,kernels per spike and hundred-grain weight were positively correlated with drought resistance of maize, which could be used as drought resistance identification index. Four drought resistance identification indexes and seven drought resistance indexes were analyzed. The results showed that Xianyu 335, Jingke 968 and Huanong 887 were the high drought resistant and high-yield maize varieties. Qiule 126, Jidan 50 and Xiangyu 218 were middle resistant and high-yield varieties. Xianyu 335 and Xiangyu 218 were the high drought resistant and high yield maize varieties suitable for planting in semi humid black soil. Huanong 887, Jingke 968 and Jidan 50 were middle resistant and high yield varieties. The drought resistant and high yield maize varieties suitable for planting in both kinds of soil are Xianyu 335, Jingke 968, Huanong 887, Xiangyu 218 and Jidan 50.
