Identification of Gray Leaf Spot Resistance among Selected F\(_2\) Maize (Zea mays L.) Population Using Simple Sequence Repeat Markers

Lagat Nicholas, Maurice E. Oyoo & Murerwa Patrick · Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science · 2025

Maize is a highly nutritious cereal grain that plays a crucial role in global food security. Maize (Zea mays L.)  productivity in Kenya is low, 1.5-2.0 t ha-1, against the potential of 5 t ha-1. Low yield is partly due to gray leaf spot (GLS) disease and lack of locally bred and...

Jeptanui Lilian, Kimurto Paul, Otaye Daniel, Mary Mgonja, Towett Bernard, Lagat Nicholas & Ojulong Henry · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2016

Head smut caused by Tolyposporium penicillariae Bref. is a devastating fungal disease that cause up to 30% yield losses in pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.). An experiment was carried out in two sites (Koibatek and Marigat) in Kenya to estimate the losses in grain yiel...
