Vitamin A deficiency, drought, low soil nitrogen (low N) and Striga hermonthica parasitism of maize (Zea mays L.) cause malnutrition and food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa. The objectives of this study were to determine combining abilities of extra-early provitamin A (PVA) lines, classify them...

Key challenges in maize breeding in sub-Saharan Africa
Availability of multiple-stress tolerant maize is critical for improvement in maize production in West and Central Africa (WCA). A study was carried out to (i) assess a set of inbred lines for combining ability under stressed and optimal conditions, (ii) determine the performance of the testcross...

Testcross performance and combining ability of early maturing maize inbreds under multiple-stress environments
Striga, drought, and low soil fertility constrain maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in West and Central Africa. Two Striga-resistant extra-early populations, TZEE-W Pop STR C0 (white) and TZEE-Y Pop STR C0 (yellow) were evaluated in field trials in Nigeria, f...
