Progress from reciprocal recurrent selection in two earlymaturing maize composites
(2003)Two early-maturing maize (Zea maysL.} composites, TZE COMP 3 and TZE COMP 4, are undergoing improvement by reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS) at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria. Fifty random Si lines from each of the original (CO) and the two improved cycles (Cl and C2) of selection were evaluated at Ikenne in 1998 and 1999 and at Zaria in 1999. The objective was to determine the progress from two cycles of selection. Response to selection for grain ... -

Tracking the magnitude of climate change and variability with remote sensing data to improve targeting of climate smart agricultural technologies
(IEEE Xplore, 2019-07-14)Quantifying the magnitude and significance of climate change variables over space and time in Africa is challenging due to sparse distribution of weather stations and poor quality of existing data. Time series climate data generated from remote sensing platforms could provide plausible alternative for measuring the trends of climate change in data limiting context. This study utilise time series remote sensing data for rainfall, maximum temperature and minimum temperature to investigate the magnitude ...
