Combining ability of maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines resistant to stem borers
(Academic Journals, 2011)
Ten inbred parents with varying resistance levels to Chilo partellus and Busseola fusca were crossed in a half diallel mating scheme to generate 45 F1 hybrids. The hybrids and five commercial checks were evaluated across ...

Genotype by environment interactions and yield stability of stem borer resistant maize hybrids in Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2011)
In a maize breeding program, potential genotypes are usually evaluated in different environments before desirable ones are selected. Genotype x environment (G x E) interaction is associated with the differential performance ...
Article
Grain yield, stem borer and disease resistance of new maize hybrids in Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2011)
Evaluation of 30 maize hybrids for yield and resistance to stem borers and foliar diseases in four agro-ecologies in Kenya was conducted in 2009. There were significant differences among the hybrids in leaf damage, number ...
Article
Yield stability of stem borer resistant maize hybrids evaluated in regional trials in east Africa
(Academic Journals, 2012)
Twenty-seven stem borer-resistant maize hybrids and three checks were evaluated in 14 locations in Kenya and Ethiopia to study the genotype x environment interaction (GEI) and yield stability. An analysis of variance was ...
