Hybrid development is enhanced by the assessment and understanding of genetic diversity and distance within inbreds. One hundred and fifty hybrids derived from 30 early-maturing inbreds plus six checks were evaluated at three locations in Nigeria for 2 years to assess their performance under drou...

Maize productivity is limited by multiple stresses in the savannas of West and Central Africa. Field trials were conducted in northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria in 2011 and 2012 to evaluate the performance of multi-stress tolerant maize varieties. Thirteen varieties including Local Check replicat...

Maize became increasingly important in the food
security of Ethiopia following the major drought and famine
that occurred in 1984. More than 9 million smallholder house-
holds, more than for any other crop in the country, grow maize
in Ethiopia at present. Ethiopia has doubled its maize produc-
