An experiment was designed to compare cycles of selection of four maize genotypes for ear- and grain-quality characteristics, interactions with Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides infection, and insect ear infestation in two seasons. Mean infection levels by A. flavus and F. verticill...

Hybrids adapted to West and Central Africa were developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in the 1980s, which enable the establishment of several private seed companies in Nigeria. Despite the superior agronomic performance of hybrids, farmers still prefer their trad...

The effects of steaming (10min, 20min and 30min) on the properties of sour cassava starch bread were evaluated. Properties examined include pH, moisture content, protein, ash, starch, sugar, amylose content and sensory analysis. Amylose content ranged between (14.04-15.73%), Amylopectin ranged be...

Though cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a staple for many poor people in Africa, it has major nutritional disadvantages. The tuberous root has very low levels of essential nutrients. Consequently, malnutrition is widespread among the people who depend on as a staple in their diet. Breeding c...
