The parasitic witchweed, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth, is the greatest biological constraint for cereal crop production by resource-poor farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Maize, Zea mays L., is a widely grown cereal crop in this region (22 × 106 ha). Striga-resistant maize populations were produc...

A parasitic weed, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth., infects millions of hectares of arable land in sub-Saharan Africa, and it threatens production of cereal crops. The objectives of this study were to investigate inheritance in maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines of tolerance and resistance to S. he...

One hundred elite, open-pedigree tropical and subtropical inbreds of maize (Zea mays L.) that had been screened in 60 tropical trials were evaluated as inbreds and in testcrosses in Nigeria. The 24 superior inbreds among these were chosen to create two diallel sets for evaluation of grain yield a...

urple witchweed [Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth.], here called just striga, parasitizes cereal crops in the savanna zone of sub-Saharan Africa. The objectives of this study were to investigate the expressions of a tolerant and a susceptible cultivar of maize (Zea mays L.) to striga as affected b...

The legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata, is an endemic insect pest that causes significant yield loss to the cowpea crop in West Africa. The application of population genetic tools is important in the management of insect pests but such data on M. vitrata is lacking. We applied a set of six microsat...

Hybrid maize seed was the first commercially available F1 seed. Inbred lines serve as parents for commercial production of single-cross hybrid seed. Cooperation between seed companies, research institutes, and government institutions is essential to the successful development of productive hybrid...

Grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in the tropics are generally low and information on combining ability among tropical maize inbred lines has not been reported for West Africa. This study was conducted to estimate combining abilities of maize inbred lines developed for West Africa. Crosses obtai...

IITA has been breeding maize for Striga tolerance/resistance (STR) since 1982. Populations of Striga hermonthica from Nigeria have been used to challenge maize germplasm. Initially (1982-1984), field screening was done under natural infestation, but variability both within sites and across years ...
