The International Institute of Agriculture (IITA) is among the major suppliers of genetic materials to national agricultural research and extension systems in West and Central Africa for the development of improved maize varieties. This paper presents the results of a survey of the impact of germ...

Maize production is constrained by Striga hermonthica in Mali leading to high yield losses. Breeding resistant hybrid maize is a promising alternative for increasing farmers’ income. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of test crosses to Striga hermonthica and identify high y...

In field trials conducted in Nigeria during 1991-92, the factors affecting the seed dispersal of Striga spp. were evaluated. Petrolatum-coated microscope slides placed at regular intervals from S. hermonthica plants and suspended from trees at 1-, 2- and 3-m above-ground heights within and around...

Improving fertilizer recommendations for farmers is essential to increase food security in smallholder landscapes. Currently, blanket recommendations are provided across agro-ecological zones, although fertilizer response and nutrient use efficiency by maize crop are spatially variable. We aimed ...

Two projects on alley cropping research and development have been implemented in the Forest zone of Cameroon (FZC) since 1988. Their goal was to identify the main agricultural constraints in the FZC and to introduce alley cropping in the farming systems to improve soil fertility and crop yields. ...

Two improved tropical maize composites, TZL COMP3 and TZL COMP4; representing complementary heterotic pools have been subjected to four cycles of reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS) for two decades to enhance varietal cross performance. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of...
