The objectives of the present study were to determine heterotic groups of germplasm lines of tropical maize by test crosses and by simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and to compare five grouping methods of heterogeneous maize. Sixteen lines of nine populations in the S5 generation were evaluated in test crosses with three testers.
