Abstract excerpt
The major challenges of maize production and productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) include Striga hermonthica infestation, recurrent drought, and low soil nitrogen (low N). This study assessed the following: (i) accelerated genetic advancements in grain yield and other measured traits of early-maturing maize hybrids, (ii) ideal test environments for selecting early-maturing multiple-stress tolerant hybrids,...
