Identification of outstanding maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids for target environments is complicated by genotype × environment interactions. Thirty-two early-maturity maize hybrids were evaluated at eight locations in Nigeria and six locations in Ghana for 2 yr to (i) identify high-yielding, stable h...

Assessment of early-maturing maize hybrids and testing sites using GGE biplot analysis
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 ...

Gains in grain yield of early maize cultivars developed during three breeding eras under multiple environments
Maize is one of the most important food crops in Ghana even though its production has not reached self sufficiency levels. Drought and striga infestation are among the most important production constraints of maize in Ghana. Promising high yielding, drought and striga tolerant maize varieties are...
