Prediction of field emergence of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids exposed to cold and wet conditions

The cold test is one of the oldest and most acceptable vigour tests as it is used to simulate stress conditions commonly occurring in the field. In recent years, some of South Africa’s top maize hybrids, with high cold test scores, have shown emergence problems under cold, wet planting conditions. I...
