Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth.is a majorbiotic constraint to increased maize (Zea mays L.) productionand productivity in West and Central Africa (WCA).Twenty-three early maize inbreds were evaluated underartificial Striga infestation and Striga-free conditions at 2locations for 2 years in Niger...

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...

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...

The West and Central Africa Collaborative Maize Research Network (WECAMAN) was established in 1987 to strengthen the capacity and capability of national programmes of West and Central Africa (WCA) to tackle regional constraints to maize production. The Network created several mechanisms for imple...

Drought and low soil nitrogen (low N) are major causes of low grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). An early maturing maize population, TZE-Y Pop DT STR, had undergone four cycles of selection for drought tolerance, followed by four selection cycles for resistance to Str...

Studies on genetic gains in grain yield in maize (Zea mays L) is crucial to identify traits of potential value and the necessary modifications in breeding methodologies and strategies for increased progress in future breeding ef-forts. Fifty early-maturing maize cultivars developed during three b...
