It is great significance of maize production to protect food security, meet the market diverse needs and optimize the agricultural planting structure in Hubei province. In recent years, maize planting area, unit yield and total production have wonderingly increased, but slowly. There still exists a big gap between supply and demands of corn, and production costs increased dramatically. On the basis of analyzing the situation of maize production and demands, some technical countermeasures of maize development was discussed, furthermore it was proposed to strengthen scientific and technological cooperation and technology innovation. Maize planting area could be moderately expanded through innovation of cropping systems in the plains and some hilly area. Maize yield could be significantly improved through cultivation technological innovation , however, it is necessary to strengthen the key technological breakthroughs, and develop the technology system of the quantitative, standardized, economized and simplified cultivation. It is expected through implementation of those measures to effectively improve the maize production level in Hubei province, enhance self-sufficiency ability of maize and alleviate the contradiction between production and demands.
