Gains in Genetic Enhancement of Early Maturing Maize Hybrids Developed during Three Breeding Periods under <i>Striga</i>-Infested and <i>Striga</i>-Free Environments

<i>Striga hermonthica</i> is a major maize production constraint in West and Central Africa (WCA). Fifty-four early maturing maize hybrids of three breeding periods: 2008–2011, 2012–2013, 2014–2015, were evaluated under <i>Striga</i>-infested and non-infested environments in...
