Selection improves drought tolerance in tropical maize populations: I. Gains in biomass, grain yield, and harvest index
Drought is common in tropical environments, and selection for drought tolerance is one way of reducing the impacts of water deficit on crop yield. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate biomass, grain yield, and harvest index of maize (Zea mays L.) populations selected for drought toler...
