Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth parasitizes maize (Zea mays L.) in sub-Saharan Africa, causing yield losses of up to 100% under severe infestation. Hybrid maize breeding for polygenic resistance to Striga has been undertaken at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) since the ...

This study is the first of its kind to quantify possible effects of climate change on rice production in Africa. We simulated impacts on rice in irrigated systems (dry season and wet season) and rainfed systems (upland and lowland). We simulated the use of rice varieties with a higher temperature...
