Grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) has low heritability under low soil nitrogen (low N) and drought, necessitating the use of secondary traits with strong associations with yield forselection. A base index involving anthesis–
silking interval, plant and ear aspects, earsper plant, and stay green ...

This article examined the factors influencing the adoption of the drought-tolerant Maize(DT) varieties and their effect on food security among farmers in the Sudan Savannaagro-ecological zone of northeastern Nigeria. Data for the study were collected from 200farmers who were selected through a mu...

In this paper we apply an integrated biophysical and economic foresight modeling approach to investigate the impacts of climate change on the global agricultural economy, and the role that new crop technology could play in mitigating these impacts. In particular, we examine how the adoption of a ...

Climate change is a major problem undermining agricultural production in Africa. Consequently, efforts are being made to provide farmers with adaptation technologies, but little empirical research exists on the determinants of adopting such technologies. This article addresses this research gap, ...

It has been shown previously that under drought, synthetic hexaploid derived wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines outperformed recurrent parents in part due to increased root mass at depth and better water extraction capacity. A group of four elite synthetic derived (SYN-DER) lines and parents was ...

In potatoes and many other crops, drought is one of the most important environmental constraints leading to yield loss. Development of drought-tolerant cultivars is therefore required for maintaining yields under climate change conditions and for the extension of agriculture to sub-optimal croppi...

Nine cassava genotypes were evaluated for their growth responses and adaptability to soil moisture stress on the field and in the screen house in Nigeria. Genotypes were evaluated in three savanna agroecologies in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Screen house evaluation w...
