Cowpea is an important legume crop to farmers as a food, fodder, agronomic, and income-generating crop. Despite these multiple advantages, cowpea cultivation faces enormous abiotic and biotic constraints, including fungal diseases such as Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. One of the control measures for this disease, which(...)

Combining ability for grain yield and other agronomic traits of early tropical maize lines under optimal, drought, and suboptimal soil nitrogen conditions
Abdoulazize Banhoro, Rasmata Nana, Yoseph Beyene, Isaiah Aleri, Andrew Chavangi, Aboubacar Sory, Marc Heijde
Maize (Zea mays L.) is crucial for food security and industrial use in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, its production is limited by drought and low soil nitrogen. Therefore, developing stress-tolerant maize hybrids is essential for enhancing productivity in the region. Effective selection of these hybrids depends on understanding the mode of inhe(...)
