The management of the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda in maize field necessitates the use a big quantities of insecticides and sometimes the use of multiple types and formulations of chemicals. The use of insecticides in crops is associated with environmental risks and health hazards to both ...
This study was conducted with the objective of predicting and comparing expected gains for two selection indices and to aid identification of a better index to improve maize populations for a target environment, in thiscase, small-farm conditions. Data from S2 lines from each of three populations...
Striga hermonthica is a parasitic weed that attacks maize, sorghum and other staple cereal crops and has long been considered one of the greatest biotic constraints to cereal production in Africa. Use of resistant or tolerant maize varieties, a maize–legume rotation using trap crops that stimulat...
Several maize near-isogenic inbred lines were subjected to comparative proteomics to identify kernel proteins associated with resistance. These lines were developed in Nigeria through a joint project between ARS-SRRC and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture. The goal of this projec...
The parasitic purple witchweed [Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth.] is a serious constraint to maize production in sub-Saharan Africa, especially in poor soils. Various Striga spp. control measures have been developed, but these have not been assessed in an integrated system. This study was conduct...
The performances of plants and seedlings of 14 tropical-adapted, registered maize hybrids were evaluated under drought stress to assess genotype suitability for off-season planting and to identify parental materials for developing drought tolerant hybrids from locally adapted germplasm. Field eva...
