Genetic variation for nitrogenuse efficiency among selected tropical maize hybrids differing in grain yield potential

Low soil nitrogen (N) and sub-optimal N fertilizer applications result in poor grain yield (GY) in maize. Genotypes with improved N-use efficiency (NUE) are particularly beneficial to low-input agriculture. Information on the relative importance of the main components of NUE will facilitate genetic...
