Maize varietal replacement in Eastern and Southern Africa: bottlenecks, drivers and strategies for improvement
Seed security is vital for food security. Rapid-cycle, climate-adaptive breeding programs and seed systems that deliver new, elite varieties to farmers to replace obsolete ones can greatly improve the productivity of maize-based cropping systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite the importance an...
