Combining ability for grain yield, agronomic traits and striga hermonthica resistance of yellow endosperm maize
Maize production is constrained by Striga hermonthica in Mali leading to high yield losses. Breeding resistant hybrid maize is a promising alternative for increasing farmers’ income. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response of test crosses to Striga hermonthica and identify high yiel...
