Estimating genetic gains for tolerance to stress combinations in tropical maize hybrids

Estimating genetic gains for tolerance to stress combinations in tropical maize hybrids

Maize is a strategic food crop in sub-Saharan Africa. However, most maize growing tropical savannas particularly in West and Central African experience the occurrence of frequent droughts and Striga infestation, resulting in 30–100% yield losses. This production zones need maize cultivars that combi...
