Various maize samples were collected from Maize and Millet Research Institute Yusaf wala, District Sahiwal, Punjab in Pakistan. The maize samples were analysed for eight essential elements (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu) by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. In general, the results showed that the variation in elemental uptake was observed in maize hybrids although they grow in the same agricultural plot, This may be due to its genetic characteristics. However, analysis of essential elements shows high level of Na in EV-5089, K, Mg and Mrr in Gahar, Ca and Fe in EVS-IO, Zn in hybrid 202 and Cu in Gohar hybrid.
