Genetic gains from selection for drought tolerance during three breeding periods in extra-early maturing maize hybrids under drought and rainfed environments
Genetic gain studies in a breeding program are very important for measuring the efficiency of the program over a specific period. It also provides breeders with an understanding of the outcomes of the huge investments committed to the breeding programs. This study sought to (i) estimate the gains in...
