- Maize variety options for Africa: Uganda(CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.Extension official measuring ear size of longe 10H with her arm, Nalweyo, Kibale district.
Publication - Maize variety options for Africa: Zimbabwe(CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.; Magorokosho, C.; Tarekegne, A.T.; Setimela, P.Maize is the most important crop for Zimbabwe. Maize production in this country experiences the most frequent and severe fluctuations in southern Africa. Area, yield and production declined by 1.5%, 1.8%, and 3.3%, respectively, each year between 2000 and 2013. Between 2000 and 2011 Zimbabwe imported 354,000 tons of maize, worth US$ 128 million annually. Frequent drought is the main cause of yield loss in this country.
Publication - Maize variety options for Africa: Zambia(CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.; Tarekegne, A.T.; Magorokosho, C.; Setimela, P.; Kabamba, M.Maize eclipses all cereals and other staples in Zambia. Drought is the major abiotic constraint to maize production here.
Publication - Maize variety options for Africa: Uganda(CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.; Makumbi, D.; Regasa, M.W.; Asea, G.; Wawa, B.Maize is the most important cereal in Uganda. Annual rates of growth for area, yield and production were 4.5%, 4.0% and 8.9%, respectively, between 2000 and 2013. Improved maize variety releases in Uganda between 2007 and 2014 grew by 46% in comparison to the 2000 to 2006 period. Hybrid turnover in Uganda is 11 years (one of the shortest in SSA) and OPVs have 16 years. The use of hybrids is increasing at a fast rate. Variety releases have been tailored to fit the capacity of national seed companies – companies with adequate capacity were licensed more sophisticated hybrids whereas smaller companies were given less complex top crosses.
Publication - Maize variety options for Africa: Tanzania(CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.; Gethi, J.; Regasa, M.W.; Makumbi, D.; Kitenge, K.; Wawa, B.With more than 4 million ha harvested, Tanzania is the second largest country, after Nigeria, in area occupied by maize in SSA. Maize production outstrips all cereals and other staples in Tanzania. In general, production showed upward trends starting in t
Publication - Maize variety options for Africa: Nigeria(CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.; Menkir, A.; Badu-Apraku, B.; Abdoulaye, T.; Abdullahi, I.; Ogunble, A.; Onyibe, J.E.; Ado, S.; Olaoye, G.
Publication - Maize variety options for Africa: Mozambique(CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.; Gethi, J.; Magorokosho, C.; Tarekegne, A.T.; Mariote, D.Maize is the most important staple for Mozambique. The country witnessed significant improvement in maize production since the mid1990s. The 2012 drought resulted in a 46% production decline, compared to the preceding year.
Publication - Maize variety options for Africa: Mali(CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.; Badu-Apraku, B.; Coulibaly, N.Maize production in Mali has shown fast growth since the second half of the 1980s. Frequent drought is the major abiotic constraint to maize production in Mali.
Publication - Maize variety options for Africa: Malawi(CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.; Magorokosho, C.; Tarekegne, A.T.; Setimela, P.; Kaonga, K.K.Maize dwarfs all other cereals in Malawi. Production has grown at a rapid rate starting from the mid- 2000s. Drought occurs frequently, especially in drier parts such as Balaka, and affects maize productivity and production.
Publication - Maize variety options for Africa: Kenya(CIMMYT, 2015) Abate, T.; Regasa, M.W.; Makumbi, D.; Wawa, B.; Ajanga, S.Maize is by far the largest contributor of food security in Kenya. Maize productivity growth has been slow owing to recurrent drought; the advent of MLN (Maize Lethal Necrosis) has increased the challenges of maize production in Kenya.
