Potential of drought-tolerant maize varieties in nitrogen-deficient soils of the Guinea savannas
The Guinea savannas of Nigeria have a high potential for the production of maize because of favorable environmental conditions. Despite this high potential, the yields obtained under farmers' conditions are still very low. Low soil fertility and intermittent drought are among major constraints limit...
