New and improved maize hybrids, developed by the CIMMYT Global Maize Program, are available for uptake by public and private sector partners, especially those interested in marketing or disseminating hybrid maize seed across Eastern Africa and similar agro-ecologies in other regions.
Each year, CIMMYT’s Global Maize Program conducts regional on-station and on-farm hybrid maize trials through a network of NARS and private seed companies in eastern and southern Africa under various management and environmental conditions. Promising maize hybrids developed by the CIMMYT-Africa team, along with relevant checks from private seed companies and National Agricultural Research Programs, are included in these trials.
Phenotypic data collected in Stage 4 and Stage 5 trials for the selected hybrids from Product Profile 1A (PP1A) as well as information about the trial sites and management and environmental conditions are provided in this dataset.
