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...

During the past 45 years, the genetic improvement programs of IITA and its partners have made spectacular progress in developing high-yielding crop varieties that offered best-bet solutions to major production constraints, such as, cassava mosaic, maize streak, Striga, soybean rust, insect pests,...

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 ...

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...

Field studies were conducted in northeast Nigeria to evaluate the response ofearly and late-maturing maize varieties infested with natural populations ofStrigato different rates of nitrogen (N) fertilizer. There were significant reductions in thenumber of emergedStrigaat 120 kg N ha71for the earl...
