The choice of the selection method to be used in the genetic improvement of a crop depends upon the type of gene action controlling the characters under study. Design 1 crosses were made in an open-pollinated maize population, TZL Composite-1 C1. As a result, 320 full-sib families were generated ...

Estimates of genetic variances and interrelationships of traits associated with Striga resistance in maize
The parasitic witchweed, Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth, is the greatest biological constraint for cereal crop production by resource-poor farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Maize, Zea mays L., is a widely grown cereal crop in this region (22 × 106 ha). Striga-resistant maize populations were produc...

A study was conducted to evaluate the use of different intra-row spacing to optimize Striga infesta- tion for resistance screening in maize. Five maize geno- types of different genetics backgrounds and contrasting reactions to Striga hermonthica were evaluated under four intra-row spacing. The ex...

Evaluating intra row spacing to optimize techniques for artificial infestation of Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth, screening for resistance in maize
Striga hermonthica, an obligate root parasite of grasses, is one of the most severe constraints to cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. In the recent past, prior to increased production pressure on land, S. hermonthica was controlled in African farming systems by prolonged crop rotations with...
