High cost of nitrogen fertilizer coupled with frequent occurrence of drought has forced many maize (Zea mays L.) growers in sub-Saharan Africa to either apply fertilizer below optimal dose or no fertilizer to their maize fields. The objectives of this study were to (i) compare the performance of ...

Responses of maize hybrids developed for drought tolerance to low soil nitrogen
Low soil nitrogen (low N) limits maize (Zea maysL.) production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Knowledge of inheritance of tolerance to low N in inbred lines selected for drought tolerance would be useful for developing hybrids adapted to low N conditions. The objectives of this study were to determ...

Objective: A study was conducted to estimate combining ability among four introduced drought tolerant maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines and five local open pollinated varieties (OPVs) in Line x Tester mating
design.
Methodology and results: The experiment was arranged in 5 x 5 alpha lattice with t...

Combining ability analysis among Sudanese and IITA maize germplasm at Gezira Research Station
The management of the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda in maize field necessitates the use a big quantities of insecticides and sometimes the use of multiple types and formulations of chemicals. The use of insecticides in crops is associated with environmental risks and health hazards to both ...
