Enhancing Rice Productivity in West Africa through Genetic Improvement
Rice yields have stagnated in West Africa at 1 to 2 Mg ha−1 because of unfavorable rice environments and poor management practices. Interspecific rice cultivars, the New Rice for Africa (NERICA), were developed by crossing Asian rice (Oryza sativa L.) and African rice (O. glaberrima Steud.) to impro...
