Comparable Yield Performance of Drought-Tolerant and Conventional Maize Hybrids Under Contrasting Water Management
Climate change has intensified plant water stress due to rising temperatures and irregular rainfall, which often fails to meet crop water requirements. Consequently, irrigation has become essential for optimizing the yield of drought-sensitive crops such as maize. Drought-tolerant (DT) maize hybrids represent a promisi...
