Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world after wheat and rice. It is the staple food crop of people in Zambia, but phosphorus (P) deficiency in soils has been limiting grain yield. The objective of this study was to introgress desirable yield enhancing alleles...

The study was conducted to determine and characterize grain yield, grain yield stability, uniformity of three way cross(TWC), single cross (SC) hybrids and open pollinated (OP) varieties of sorghum and relate their grain yield to morphological and physiological attributes via leaf area index and...

A field experiment was carried out during the 1994/95 growing season at the Zambia Seed Company (ZAMSEED) farm (located at longitude 28" 18' E and latitude 15" 19' S) to evaluate 12 selected sorghum genotypes for forage/silage yield and quality; and to determine the effect of growth stages at...

The purpose of the study was to compare the performance and relative stability of grain yield among four different maize (Zea mays L. ) types and also to investigate some agronomic traits and their relationship to overall yield stability. The four types of maize were compared in twelve...

A study was conducted to determine the effect of substrate pasteurization and sterilization on the yield of Pleurotus cornucopiae and Pleurotus sajor-caju, and on the suitability of sorghum, wheat and maize grains, and wooden sticks as mycelium carriers in spawn production. The Pleurotus species...

A blanket fertilizer recommendation is used for each agro-ecological zone in Swaziland irrespective of soil type and maize genotype. The objective of the study was to determine the response of grain yield and some yield components of maize cultivars to fertilizer rates applied to different soils...
