Genetic variability of maize stover quality and the potential for genetic improvement of fodder value
Maize stover left after grain harvest constitutes an important source for livestock feed in most parts of East Africa, particularly during the dry season. In spite of its wide use and greater importance, breeding programs have given little attention to the improvement of stover quality and quantity....
