Abstract:Maize (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-pollinated varieties (OPVs). The study (i) evaluated the agronomic performance and heterosis of topcross hybrids (THs) developed from a cross between new streak-resistant inbred lines and Benin-adapted OPVs, (ii) estimated the combining ability of the parental ma… Show more
