GENETIC VARIABILITY FOR STEM BORER RESISTANCE IN TWO ADAPTED EARLY-MATURING MAIZE (Zea mays L.) POPULATIONS

Stem borers are among the major biotic stresses limiting the grain yield of maize, an important cereal crop in Africa. Breeding for multiple resistance to maize stem borers has been reported to be a promising method of control. Understanding the genetic variability of crop populations will help in i...
