Abstract excerpt

A systematic evaluation of maize hybrid performance and combining ability was conducted to enhance resistance to maize lethal necrosis (MLN), drought tolerance, and grain yield (GY) in eastern and southern Africa. Thirty-eight early- to intermediate-maturing maize inbred lines, including MLN-tolerant and high-yielding genotypes with drought tolerance and resistance to multiple foliar and insect pests, were...
