COMBINING ABILITY FOR NITROGEN USE IN A SELECTED SET OF INBRED LINES FROM A TROPICAL MAIZE POPULATION

COMBINING ABILITY FOR NITROGEN USE IN A SELECTED SET OF INBRED LINES FROM A TROPICAL MAIZE POPULATION

Tolerance rather than resistance, is the crop response mechanism sought bymaize breeders for cultivation under low levels of nitrogen. Although improved nitrogen use isin intensive research by maize breeders, little is known about its inheritance on tropical maizegermplasm. The objectives of this st...
