Response of maize population “Longe5” to two cycles of modified S1 recurrent selection for resistance to maize weevil

2015-08-01

Abstract excerpt

The maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Mostch.) is one of the most damaging storage pests causing significant reductions in grain weight and quality in tropical and subtropical regions. The current study determined the effectiveness of two cycles of modified S₁ recurrent selection towards the improvement of weevil resistance in the maize variety “Longe5”. Grain yield and resistance to Turcicum leaf blight, grey leaf...
