Demonstration of Tied Ridges and Plantings Method on Soil Moisture and Grain Yield of Maize in Dry Land Area of Sankura Woreda, SNNPR, Ethiopia
Abstract: Tied ridging is a useful technique, especially on terrain with slopes of 3% to 4% or less. On steeper slopes, adding terrace can increase crop yields by prolonging the time it takes for water to percolate into the soil. Purpose of the study was to show the effects of the open end linked ridges with furrow planting technique on the soil's moisture content and the grain production of the maize …

Performance Evaluation and Yield Stability of Maize (Zea Mays L.) Hybrid Genotypes in Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Improved maize varieties were released by different agricultural research centers at different times in Ethiopia. However, the productivity of these varieties was not evaluated at wide environment. The variety choice of most farmers in Ethiopia is not suitable for their farm due to lack of awareness about varieties adaptability and their field’s condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the stability and yield potential of hybrid maize genotypes …

Conventional and Molecular Breeding for Development of Drought Tolerant Maize Cultivars
Abstract: AbstractIn crop plants, possibility of attaining higher production level depends on the magnitude of genetic potential of germplasm and environmental conditions. Drought being the major abiotic stress, adversely affects the growth and development ultimately economic yield of maize crop in variety of ways. The precise knowledge of drought sensitive crop stages, drought tolerance imparting traits, screening techniques and breeding strategies are having the fundamental prerequisite for development of drought tolerant …
