Two major constraintsmilitatingagainst the
achievement of food security in West Africa (WA) are
recurrent drought and poor soil fertility. Seventeen early
maturing maize inbreds from IITA and CIMMYT were
used as parents to produce 136 diallel crosses which
were evaluated along with four checks in...

Availability of multiple-stress tolerant maize is critical for improvement in maize production in West and Central Africa (WCA). A study was carried out to (i) assess a set of inbred lines for combining ability under stressed and optimal conditions, (ii) determine the performance of the testcross...

Striga hermonthica is a major constraint to increased maize production and productivity in the savannas of West and Central Africa OVCA. The IITA-WECAMAN Maize Program has developed two extra-early source populations and several extra-early varieties, synthetics and inbred lines with resistance/t...

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...
