Genetic gains from selection for high grain yield and Striga resistance in early maturing maize cultivars of three breeding periods under Stigainfested and Strigafree environments
Maize is the most important staple cereal crop in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and has great potential to rectify the food insecurity in the sub-region. A study was conducted at four locations two each in Nigeria and Benin in 2010 and 2011 to determine the rate of genetic improvement in the grain yield...
