Low-N stress tolerant maize hybrids have higher fertilizer N recovery efficiency and reduced N-dilution in the grain compared to susceptible hybrids under low N conditions

Low-N stress tolerant maize hybrids have higher fertilizer N recovery efficiency and reduced N-dilution in the grain compared to susceptible hybrids under low N conditions

Developing high yielding maize (Zea mays L.) varieties that have relatively high grain protein content under low nitrogen stress is critical to ensure food and nutrition security in sub-Saharan Africa. This study evaluated the efficiency for fertilizer N recovery, grain yield and grain protein conte...
