Badu-Apraku, B.Yallou, C.Oyekunle, M.Akinwale, R.Aweke, G.Kamara, A.[Consistency of performance of early-maturing maize cultivars in Striga infested and Striga-free environments]Consistency of performance of early-maturing maize cultivars in Striga infested and Striga-free environments

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) provided a 4-year financial support to the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and other partners in 2011 to adapt and intensively promote proven integrated Striga management strategies in cowpea and maize farming systems in north...


Amaza P.Hassan, M.B.Abdoulaye, TahirouKamara, A.Oluoch. M.[Mid-term and cost-benefit study of smallholder farmers in Striga-Infested maize and cowpea growing areas of Northern Nigeria]Mid-term and cost-benefit study of smallholder farmers in Striga-Infested maize and cowpea growing areas of Northern Nigeria

Most crop simulation models require the use of Genotype Specific Parameters (GSPs) which provide the Genotype component of G×E×M interactions. Estimation of GSPs is the most difficult aspect of most modelling exercises because it requires expensive and time-consuming field experiments. GSPs could...


Adnan, A.A.Diels, J.Jibrin, J.M.Kamara, A.Craufurd, Peter Q.Shaibu, A.S.Mohammed, B.Tonnang, Henri E.Z.[Options for calibrating ceres-maize genotype specific parameters under data-scarce environments]Options for calibrating ceres-maize genotype specific parameters under data-scarce environments

Parasitism of crop plants by Striga species is a major constraint in the savanna zones of West Africa. Farmers ranked Striga as a leading constraint during a livelihood analysis of 30 communities in northeast Nigeria. A field survey was conducted to ascertain the extent of infestation by Striga s...


Dugje, I.Y.Kamara, A.Omoigui, L.O.[Infestation of crop fields by Striga species in the savanna zones of northeast Nigeria]Infestation of crop fields by Striga species in the savanna zones of northeast Nigeria

Abstract A field experiment was conducted during 2014 and 2016 rainy season at Tudun Wada, Kano and Shika, Zaria in the Northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria in order to study the physiological responses of maize hybrids under low nitrogen. The experiment consisted of two nitrogen levels 0 and 120 N...


Abubakar, A.W.Manga, A.A.Kamara, A.Tofa, A.I.[Physiological evaluations of maize hybrids under low nitrogen]Physiological evaluations of maize hybrids under low nitrogen

Full-sib families derived from Pool 16 DT, a tropical maize ( Zea mays L.) population, were evaluated in the 1995/96 and 1997/98 dry seasons, using two sites each season in Côte d’Ivoire. In all sites, the crop was irrigated from planting to about 2 weeks before anthesis, irrigation was discontin...


Badu-Apraku, B.Fakorede, M.A.B.Menkir, A.Kamara, A.Dapaah, S.[Screening maize for drought tolerance in the Guinea savanna of West and Central Africa]Screening maize for drought tolerance in the Guinea savanna of West and Central Africa

North Carolina Design I (NCD I) progenies derived from Pool 16 DT, a white, dent, early maturing, drought-tolerant and streak resistant tropical maize (Zea mays L.) population, were evaluated in the 1995/96 and 1997/98 dry seasons, using two sites each season in Côte d'Ivoire. In all sites, the c...

A field trial was conducted during the rainy seasons of 2008 and 2009 at Samaru in northern Guinea savannah of Nigeria to determine the performance of semi-determinate and indeterminate cowpea cultivars intercropped with extra early, early and late maize cultivars. The trial was laid out in a ran...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important food crop in the Guinea savannas of Nigeria. Despite its high production potential, drought, Striga hermonthica parasitsim, and poor soil fertility particularly nitrogen deficiency limit maize production in the savannas. Breeders at IITA have developed drought-...


Kamara, A.Ewansiha, S.U.Menkir, A.[Assessment of nitrogen uptake and utilization in drought tolerant and Striga resistant tropical maize varieties]Assessment of nitrogen uptake and utilization in drought tolerant and Striga resistant tropical maize varieties

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...
