On‐Farm Yield Gains with Stress‐Tolerant Maize in Eastern and Southern Africa

2017-03-01

Abstract excerpt

CORE IDEAS: These selected varieties were compared with the best commercial check varieties on‐farm across 94 locations in eastern and southern Africa in a randomized complete block design with three replications for two seasons. The new drought tolerant hybrids showed a yield advantage over the commercial check varieties both in the early and medium‐late maturing categories by 4 to 19%. Among the CIMMYT hybrids,...
