The quest for precise and rapid phenotyping of germplasm is increasing the interest of breeders and physiologists in the application of remote sensing techniques in maize breeding. Twenty-four drought-tolerant maize inbred lines were crossed using a modified North Carolina II mating scheme to gen...

Striga hermonthica parasitism is a major constraint limiting Sorghum productivity in the Nigerian savanna. Field experiments were conducted in 2005 and 2006 rainy seasons to evaluate the response of sorghum varieties to striga infestation. A randomised complete block design was used to screen 12 ...

Maize (Zea mays L) research at the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), Samaru was initiated in the 1950s with the goal of developing adapted high yielding varieties and hybrids. Germplasm materials were collected from local sources as well as from different countries, including Columbia, K...

Drought stress causes significant yield reduction in maize Zea mays L. grown in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA. An understanding of the inheritance of drought tolerance would be useful in developing drought tolerant hybrids. The objectives of this study were to determine (i) the effects of the level of ...

Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth is an obligate root parasite infecting maize (Zea mays L.) and causing considerable yield losses in Africa. Few studies have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of recurrent selection for improving resistance to S. hermonthica in maize. The objective of t...

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...

Genotype × environment interactions complicate selection of superior genotypes for narrow and wide adaptation. Eighteen tropically-adapted maize cultivars were evaluated at six locations in Nigeria for 2 yr to (i) identify superior and stable cultivars across environments and (ii) assess relation...
