Recent advances in breeding for Striga resistant extraearly maize for the savannas of West and Central Africa
Striga hermonthica is a major constraint to increased maize production and productivity in the savannas of West and Central Africa OVCA. The IITA-WECAMAN Maize Program has developed two extra-early source populations and several extra-early varieties, synthetics and inbred lines with resistance/tole...
