Maize farmers and extension agents in dry sudan savanna need information on how planting date and the choice of variety affect grain yield. This study was conducted to test the ability of model to predict maize yields under varying planting dates. Data on two open-pollinated maize cultivars (TSB-...

Simulating planting date and cultivar effects on dryland maize production using CERESmaize model
Cowpea-maize intercropping causes low yields of cowpea due to shading effect by maize plants. Staggering of dates of planting of cowpea in an intercrop is a potential way of reducing intercrop shading while increasing cowpea yield. Nonetheless, contrasting cowpea cultivars may have differential r...

Field trials were carried out in the Sudan Savannah of Nigeria to assess the usefulness of CERES–maize crop model as a decision support tool for optimizing maize production through manipulation of plant dates. The calibration experiments comprised of 20 maize varieties planted during the dry and ...

Maize cultivation has recently expanded to the West African Sudan savannah and has the potential to play a key role
in the cropping systems of the region where intercrop yields have been low. Staggering planting date and
manipulating plant population of component crops are potential ways to impro...
