Population cross diallel of maize genotypes with varying levels of resistance to the pink stalk borer (Sesamia calamistis: Hampson) and the sugarcane borer (Eldana sacharina: Walker)
Genetic diversity that can be profitably exploited is a major desire of several maize (Zea mays L.) breeding programs. The objective of this study was to identify maize populations that could be used in reciprocal recurrent selection programs for combined resistance to two stem borers, Sesamia calam...
