Determining heterotic orientation of South African maize inbred lines towards USA temperate and CIMMYT- tropical testers and genetic analyses under contrasting environments.
(2018)Drought and low soil fertility are major abiotic stresses limiting maize productivity in South Africa. Developing drought and low nitrogen-tolerant varieties is part of a long-term solution to improved maize productivity ... -
Evaluation of early maturing maize (zea mays L.) hybrids for multiple-stress tolerance.
(2018)Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important cereal in Africa, but a number of constraints including biotic, abiotic and socio-economic factors affect its production. The abiotic factors such as drought, low nitrogen (N) and ... -
Genetic and path coefficient analyses and heterotic orientation of maize germplasm under combined heat and drought stress in sub-tropical lowland environments.
(2016)Crop failures due to simultaneous occurrence of drought spells and heat waves have become a common phenomenon in tropical and subtropical environments as a consequence of climate change. This phenomenon has raised lots of ... -
Inheritance of post-harvest pest resistance and genetic analysis of combining drought, maize lethal necrosis and maize weevil resistance in tropical maize germplasm.
(2020)Drought stress, maize lethal necrosis (MLN) and storage pests, mainly maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky) and larger grain borer (Prostephanus truncatus Horn), are among the most important maize production ...
