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...

Improvement in grain yield and low-nitrogen tolerance in maize cultivars of there eras
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...

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...

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...
