Efficiency of managed-stress screening of elite maize hybrids under drought and low-N for yield under rainfed conditions in Southern Africa 

Weber, V.S.; Melchinger, A.E.; Magorokosho, C.; Makumbi, D.; Bänziger, M.; Atlin, G.N. (Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), 2012)
Maize (Zea mays L.) yields in southern Africa are low, due largely to drought and low-N stress. Selection of stress-tolerant genotypes by CIMMYT is conducted indirectly under managed stress conditions, although the selection ...
