Abstract
This study evaluated grain yield performance and stability of 210 extra-early maize hybrids across stress and non-stress environments; established the mode of gene action controlling the inheritance of yield and other traits under Striga infestation, drought, optimal conditions and across environments; assessed the combining abilities of the inbreds; classified the lines to heterotic groups based on their combining ability; and determined the efficiency of inbred testers and interrelationship among traits measured. These were with a view to develop and deploy improved hybrids with combined tolerance to these stresses in West and Central Africa.
