Abstract :This research has been conducted to determine the highest yielding grain pop corn varieties under Karaman eco-logical conditions and to examine the yield and quality components of pop corn varieties in 2003. In this research which arranged in a " Randomized Complete Block” with four replications, 12 pop corn varieties were used. According to the results, mean values of pop corn varieties were changed between grain yield 499.5 kg/da (Mr. Kelly) – 753.5 kg/da (Bahar P-621), G.D.D. for emergence – flowering period 671.8 0C (Mr Kelly) – 729.92 0C (Kara-man Pop). Flowering period 69.25 day (Bahar P-621) – 73.00 day (Karaman Populasyon), plant height 194.65 cm (NS-620) – 240.20 cm (Koç Kompozit), first ear height 73.35 cm (NS-620) – 109.40 cm (Koç Kompozit), ear lenght 17.17 cm (Mr Kelly) - 20.27 cm (Bahar P – 621) , ear diameter 33.79 mm (NS-620) – 40.51 mm (Bahar P-618), grain number per ear 527 (Mr Kelly) – 732.75 (Nermin Cin), grain weight per ear 81.75 g (Mr Kelly) – 146.759 (Bahar P-618) . As a result, it was recommend that "Koç Kompozit”, "Ant Cin – 98”, "NS-620”, "ZP 611 K”, "85 Ant 2503 x 72.11”, "85 Ant 2503 x Sarı T.” and "Bahar P-618” popcorn varieties can be grown for high yield under Central Anatolia ecological conditions.Keywords : Cin mısır, tane verimi, verim unsurları, morfolojik özellikler
