Maize was probably introduced into India by the Portuguese in the 16th Century. Whilst it has long been an important crop in India, in the last 10-15 years maize output has grown rapidly: maize now ranks as the third most important food grain crop inIndia. For maize production to grow ...
The cultivation of Maize and Guinea corn in the northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria is faced with lots of Crop protection problems which hinder full scale production of these crops in that ecological zone. The problems range from biotic factors like vertebrate and invertebrate pests, disease pathogens...
Maize has emerged as an important crop for food, feed and various applications. Utilization of hybrid technology has resulted in a quantum jump in grain production worldwide. However, ever-increasing population pressure coupled with climate change warrant many fold increase in productivity in a shorte...
In the past few centuries, agriculture has benefitted from improvements in crop and animal varieties, which was able to keep up with the food demands of an ever-increasing human population. These benefits were most apparent when climate was suitable, infestation was minimal, and crop ...

In these areas, maize is largely replacing sorghum, an important dual-purpose crop. The stover of sorghum is highly valued by livestock keepers and fodder traders6,7. Given the prevalent fodder shortage in India, maize stover would need to substitute for the loss in sorghum stover8. Increases...
Maize is a staple crop in sub-Saharan Africa, but yields remain sub-optimal. Improved breeding and seed systems are vital to increase productivity. We describe a hybrid seed production technology that will benefit seed companies and farmers. This technology improves efficiency and integrity of seed...

China is also considered as it accounts for a fifth of global maize production, and its role as an opportunistic trader in response to crop shortages or surpluses has the potential to temporarily destabilize markets (Allen and Lutman, 2009). We also include India, where maize cultivation has ...
In the context of climate change, drought is one of the most limiting factors that influence crop production. Maize, as a major crop, is highly vulnerable to water deficit, which causes significant yield loss. Thus, identification and utilization of drought-resistant germplasm are crucial for the...
