Increase in maize grain yield in West Africa can be achieved by developing maize varieties tolerant to low soil nitrogen (N) and improving soil fertility. Six maize populations were evaluated in two locations in Nigeria under low-N (45 kg N ha−1) and high-N (90 kg N ha−1) conditions to identify m...
Maize researchers in West and Central Africa (WCA) established the West and Central Africa Collaborative Maize Research Network (WECAMAN) in 1987 to tackle maize production constraints too formidable for individual national programs to overcome. The National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) t...
Advanced rice breeding lines were evaluated in eight environments (two seasons and four N-fertilizer levels) to investigate the effectiveness of selecting genotypes for less favorable low fertilizer input environments. Highly significant Environment (E), Genotype (G) and G x E. interaction effect...
To evaluate local maize varieties from Burkina Faso under moisture deficiency to identify suitable genotypes to serve as sources of drought tolerance alleles for incorporation into improved cultivars. Methodology and results: Fourteen local maize varieties from Bu...
A maize population was subjected to three different selection procedures to determine the best methodfor its improvement in a study conducted at Ibadan, Nigeria. Considerable genetic variability existedwithin the population for effective selection for each of the traits considered, using any of t...
Genetic diversity that can be profitably exploited is a major desire of several maize (Zea mays L.) breeding programs. The objective of this study was to identify maize populations that could be used in reciprocal recurrent selection programs for combined resistance to two stem borers, Sesamia ca...
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...
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...
