Heterosis and Combining Ability for Striga Tolerance in Maize (Zea mays L.)

N’da Hugues Annicet, Konaté Dofougo, KOUAKOU Kouakou Romaric, N’cho Achi Laurent & Letto Kouakou Yann Cédric · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2026

Background: Maize is a major staple in sub-Saharan Africa, but its production is severely constrained by Striga hermonthica, which causes significant yield and economic losses. Developing tolerant varieties remains the most sustainable control strategy. Aims: To evaluate 45 F1 hy...
