The classification of maize inbred lines into heterotic groups is an important undertaking in hybrid breeding. The objectives of our research were to: (1) separate selected tropical mid-altitude maize inbred lines into heterotic groups based on grain yield data; (2) assess the genetic relationshi...

Two sets (white- and yellow-kernelled) of six cultivars of field-maize, each comprising three hybrids and three open-pollinated (OP) varieties, were evaluated for green-maize productivity under three levels of nitrogen fertilisation (0, 60 and 120 kg ha−1) at two locations in southwestern Niger...

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...

Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth is a destructive parasitic weed to maize (Zea mays L.) in West and Central Africa. The presence of large genetic variation among parasite populations contributes to significant genotype × environment interaction, complicating assessment of resistance reactions of g...

This volume looks at various aspects of the culturally prescribed roles of women and men - that is, gender issues - in sub-Saharan Africa and their relevance to the recording of facts upon which national policies and plans promoting the welfare of labour and national economic development are supp...
