The International Institute of Agriculture (IITA) is among the major suppliers of genetic materials to national agricultural research and extension systems in West and Central Africa for the development of improved maize varieties. This paper presents the results of a survey of the impact of germ...


Manyong, Victor M.Kling, J.Mankinde, K.Ajala, S.Menkir, A.[Impact of IITA germplasm improvement on maize production in West and Central Africa]Impact of IITA germplasm improvement on maize production in West and Central Africa
Autor: Menkir, A.

Maize (Zea mays L) is cultivated under a broad range of climatic conditions in West and Central Africa (WCA). For the purpose of germplasm evaluation, maize researchers in the subregion loosely stratified the diverse environments into four agroecological zones based on their knowledge and experie...


Menkir, A.[The role of GIS in the development and targeting of maize germplasm to farmers in West and Central Africa]The role of GIS in the development and targeting of maize germplasm to farmers in West and Central Africa

Maize (Zea mays L.) landraces in the northern Guinea savanna and Sudan savanna in West and Central Africa appear to have some drought-adaptive traits. This study was initiated to assess the level of improvement in yield potential and other agronomic traits achieved under drought stress (DS) and i...


Meseka, S.K.Fakorede, M.A.B.Ajala, S.Badu-Apraku, B.Menkir, A.[Introgression of alleles from maize landraces to improve drought tolerance in an adapted germplasm]Introgression of alleles from maize landraces to improve drought tolerance in an adapted germplasm

Stratifying a broad target growing area of a crop into different ecological zones has been an important first step in plant breeding. To cater for the diverse maize growing environments in West and Central Africa, germplasm development and testing at IITA have been targeted to four agroecological...

Brown, R.L.Bhatnagar, D.Cleveland, T.E.Chen, Z.Menkir, A.[Development of maize host resistance to aflatoxigenic fungi]Development of maize host resistance to aflatoxigenic fungi

Sustainable resource management is the critical agricultural research and development challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. The accumulated knowledge on soil management gathered over the last 10 years, combined with solid crop improvement and plant health research at farmers’ level, has brought us to ...

Menkir, A.Rocheford, T.Maziya-Dixon, B.B.Tanumihardjo, S.[Exploiting natural variation in exotic germplasm for increasing provitaminA carotenoids in tropical maize]Exploiting natural variation in exotic germplasm for increasing provitaminA carotenoids in tropical maize

Maize is a staple food crop for many people in Africa where millions of children, pregnant women and nursing mothers suffer from vitamin A deficiency. The β-carotene found in yellow maize can be used as a primary source of provitamin A. Several tropical yellow endosperm maize inbred lines with va...
