Henry Ojulong. (29/1/2017). Advance breeding populations for resistance to blast, striga and drought; high nutrient content and desired traits like snapping quality and none-logging.
Abstract
Breeding populations at F2, F3 and F4 for the different traits were established in the field for evaluation and the selected ones advanced. At the same time new F1 populations are being made for advancing to F2 the next season. A PYT trial consisting of 81 selections from crosses and promising accessions was evaluated at Kiboko and Alupe
