Agronomic performance of maize cultivars representing three decades of breeding in the Guinea Savannas of West and Central Africa
Maize improvement at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), which began in the 1970s, built on the germplasm and experience of earlier years. The main breeding emphasis was to develop maize cultivars and hybrids with high yield potential and durable resistance to diseases and pe...
