Progress in breeding maize for Striga tolerance/resistance at IITA
IITA has been breeding maize for Striga tolerance/resistance (STR) since 1982. Populations of Striga hermonthica from Nigeria have been used to challenge maize germplasm. Initially (1982-1984), field screening was done under natural infestation, but variability both within sites and across years was...
