Increased yield of corn

By Luciens Nyembo

Increasing maize production by breeding varieties adapted to local conditions to improve security is possible in the former Katanga province. This study recombined the varietal characters of Babungo and Kasai I with those of three maize varieties from Zambia, resulting in new types of material intermediate between the parental genotypes and phenotypes. These new varieties, combined with appropriate cultural techniques, have increased maize grain yields. This book is structured around five chapters: the first chapter reviews maize production and the state of maize research in the former Katanga Province, the second deals with maize breeding, the third with the environment, materials and methods, the fourth chapter is devoted to the results obtained during experiments conducted over four consecutive years and the fifth deals with the discussion of the results
