Efficiency of secondary traits in selecting for improved grain yield in extraearly maize under Strigainfested and Strigafree environments

A base index involving Striga damage, number of emerged Striga plantsand ears per plant is used for selecting for maize (Zea mays L.) grainyield under Striga infestation. There are contradictory reports on the reliabilityof number of emerged Striga plants for selecting for Striga resistance.The obje...
