Tar spot complex (TSC) is a highly destructive disease of maize found in some countries in America. Identification of TSC resistant germplasm and elucidating the genetic mechanism of resistance is crucial for the use of host resistance to manage this disease. We evaluated 890 elite maize inbred l...

A field trial was conducted during the rainy seasons of 2008 and 2009 at Samaru in northern Guinea savannah of Nigeria to determine the performance of semi-determinate and indeterminate cowpea cultivars intercropped with extra early, early and late maize cultivars. The trial was laid out in a ran...

Many Nigerian farmers depend for their seed on seed-producing farmers, the so-called informal Seed System (SS), but seed quality of the SS is unknown. Farmers planting low quality seed risk poor field emergence and low plant vigour as a result of low physiological quality or infection with seed-b...

Aflatoxin contamination caused by Aspergillus flavus infection of corn is a significant and chronic threat to corn being used as food or feed. Contamination of crops at levels of 20 ng g–1 or higher (as regulated by the USFDA) by this toxin and potent carcinogen makes the crop unsalable, resultin...

Drought tolerant maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids are crucial to sustainability of maize production in West and Central Africa (WCA). Two studies were conducted at three locations in Nigeria for 2 yr to (i) assess performance of 156 early-maturing maize inbreds and three hybrid types and (ii) determin...

In southern Benin, the use of cover crops to improve and maintain soil fertility is on the increase. The present study investigated the effect of two leguminous cover crops, Canavalia ensiformis (L.) DC and Sesbania rostrata Brem. & Oberm., planted at different dates before maize (Zea mays (L.)),...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important food crop in the Guinea savannas of Nigeria. Despite its high production potential, drought, Striga hermonthica parasitsim, and poor soil fertility particularly nitrogen deficiency limit maize production in the savannas. Breeders at IITA have developed drought-...
