Breeding strategies to improve maize for adaptation to low soil nitrogen in West and Central Africa
The moist savannas of West and Central Africa have great potential for maize grain production due to high levels of radiation and reduced incidence of pests and diseases. However, soils in this zone are generally low in organic matter and cation exchange capacity in addition to land use intensificat...
