Low soil Nitrogen (low-N) is one of the most important abiotic stresses responsible for significant yield losses in maize (Zea mays. L.). The development and commercialization of low N tolerant genotypes can contribute to improved food security in developing countries. However, selection for low ...

During the past 45 years, the genetic improvement programs of IITA and its partners have made spectacular progress in developing high-yielding crop varieties that offered best-bet solutions to major production constraints, such as, cassava mosaic, maize streak, Striga, soybean rust, insect pests,...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important staple crop in West and Central Africa (WCA), but its production is severely constrained by low soil nitrogen (low N). Fifty-six extra-early open-pollinated maize cultivars developed during three breeding eras, 1995–2000, 2001–2006 and 2007–2012, were eva...

Four cycles of S1 family recurrent selection to improve grain yield and resistance to Striga hermonthica have been completed in TZE-Y Pop STR C0. In order to determine whether or not to continue with the recurrent scheme, it was desirable to evaluate the amount of residual genetic variance and as...

Maize (Zea mays L) research at the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), Samaru was initiated in the 1950s with the goal of developing adapted high yielding varieties and hybrids. Germplasm materials were collected from local sources as well as from different countries, including Columbia, K...

Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth threatens maize (Zea mays L.) production in sub-Saharan Africa. In an extra-early population, S1 families derived from four cycles of recurrent selection for grain yield and Striga resistance were evaluated with and without Striga infestation at three locations in ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars combining high grain yield with elevated levels of lysine, tryptophan, and desirable endosperm modification, could reduce food insecurity and malnutrition in West and Central Africa (WCA). Sixteen early- and nine extra-early-maturing quality protein maize (QPM) and n...

This study was conducted to evaluate the yield performance of different maturity groups of maize varieties at different planting dates under the marginal rainfall conditions of the rainforest ecology of Nigeria and identify the high yielding ones. The maize varieties were evaluated on five and th...
