Yield assessment of new streak-resistant topcross maize hybrids in Benin
Open AgricultureMaize (Zea mays L.) is the foremost cereal consumed in Benin but its production is constrained by the lack of access to high-quality seeds for intensification of the crop; hence, the continued cultivation of disease-susceptible, low-yielding, and open ...

Evaluation of the average performance of topcrosses among food and grain type soybean [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2003 The food type soybean (exotic) are, in general, non-adapted to the Brazilian growing conditions. A breeding strategy to develop adapted food type soybean should involve crossing exotic with the available grain type genotypes. We evaluated the performance
