Striga and drought are major constraints to
maize (Zea mays L.) production in the savannas
of west and central Africa (WCA). A study
was conducted in 2005 and 2006 in Nigeria to
determine the level of resistance to Striga hermonthica
for two early-maturing maize populations,
one white and one yel...

S1 family selection in early maturing maize populations in Striga infested and Striga free environments
Maize (Zea mays L.) production in west and central Africa (WCA) is constrained by the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth and recurrent drought. Two early maize populations, TZE-W Pop DT STR C0 (white) and TZE-Y Pop DT STR C0 (yellow), developed from diverse genetic backgrounds, were s...

Performance of early maize cultivars derived from recurrent selection for grain yield and Striga resistance
An extra-early maturing white-grained, flint/dent maize (Zea mays L.) population, TZEE-W Pop STR C4 (Reg. No. GP-576; PI 657704), has been developed at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture. The population has moderate levels of resistance to Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. It was ...

Registration of striga-resistant tropical extra- early maize population
Grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) has low heritability under low soil nitrogen (low N) and drought, necessitating the use of secondary traits with strong associations with yield forselection. A base index involving anthesis–
silking interval, plant and ear aspects, earsper plant, and stay green ...
