Approaches and progress in breeding drought-tolerant maize hybrids for tropical lowlands in west and central Africa
Drought represents a significant production challenge to maize farmers in West and Central Africa, causing substantial economic losses. Breeders at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture have therefore been developing drought-tolerant maize varieties to attain high grain yields in rainf...
