Strategies for Selecting Early Maturing Maize Inbred Lines for Hybrid Production under Low Soil Nitrogen and <i>Striga</i> Infestation
Development, testing and selection of superior inbred lines is crucial for the success of a hybrid program targeting <i>Striga</i>-infested and low soil nitrogen (low-N) environments. The practical value of inbred lines is determined by multiple traits, most of which are inter-dependent....
