Variation in the phenotypic performance of top-cross fall armyworm resistant maize hybrids under rain-fed growing conditions in a derived savanna agroecology
Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) threatens maize production in sub-Saharan Africa. Developing maize hybrids that are resistant to fall armyworm and achieve high grain yields can enhance productivity and stability, particularly in the savanna agroecology. This study evaluated 32 maize hybrids, including commercial...
