Recurrent selection under artificial S. hermonthica infestation has significantly reduced the number of emerged Striga plants and increased grain yield under Striga infestation in broad-based populations. These populations have been sources of varieties and inbred lines with consistently high lev...

The magnitude and type of genetic variability are of prime importance to breeders in determining whether or not to improve a breeding population and the method to use. The early maturing population, TZE-W Pop DT STR, has gone through three cycles of S1 recurrent selection for improvement for grai...

The West and Central Africa Collaborative Maize Research Network (WECAMAN) was established in 1987 to strengthen the capacity and capability of national programmes of West and Central Africa (WCA) to tackle regional constraints to maize production. The Network created several mechanisms for imple...

Striga represents the largest biological threat to cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. Breeding for resistance to Striga has been the focal point of IITA to reduce the impact of this parasite on maize production. The early breeding work at IITA focused on search for tolerance to Striga. IITA...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important staple crop in West and Central Africa (WCA), but its production is severely constrained by low soil nitrogen (low N). Fifty-six extra-early open-pollinated maize cultivars developed during three breeding eras, 1995–2000, 2001–2006 and 2007–2012, were eva...

Striga hermonthica is a major constraint to increased maize production and productivity in the savannas of West and Central Africa OVCA. The IITA-WECAMAN Maize Program has developed two extra-early source populations and several extra-early varieties, synthetics and inbred lines with resistance/t...
