Appropriate testers are needed as well as information on heterotic patterns of tropical lowland early-maturing germplasm. Diallel crosses involving nine tropical early maturing maize (Zea mays L.) inbreds were evaluated at five locations in Nigeria from 2007 to 2009 under drought stress, when Str...
Striga hermonthica is a major constraint to maize (Zea mays L.) production in sub-Saharan Africa. The use of secondary traits that have high heritability and genetic correlation with grain yield can improve the precision with which Striga resistant genotypes are identified. Fifteen early cultivar...
Maize (Zea mays L.) has the greatest yield potential in savannas of West and Central Africa (WCA). However, production in this agroecology is constrained by low levels of N, drought, and parasitism by striga [Striga hermonthica (Del) Benth.]. Diallel crosses involving 17 extra-early white maize i...
A base index involving Striga damage, number of emerged Striga plantsand ears per plant is used for selecting for maize (Zea mays L.) grainyield under Striga infestation. There are contradictory reports on the reliabilityof number of emerged Striga plants for selecting for Striga resistance.The o...
Extra-early maize (Zea mays L) tolerant to low-N and drought could stabilize yields in sub-Saharan Africa. Studies were conducted under drought and low-N conditions in Nigeria for three years to determine the potential of 90 extra-early inbreds for hybrid production and evaluate the performance o...
Maize (Zea mays L.), an important staple crop in West and Central Africa (WCA), has enormous potential to reduce food insecurity in this subregion. Research covering three periods or eras of breeding has been conducted to develop cultivars resistant/tolerant to three maize stress factors: Striga ...
