Description
Abstract - 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 southern Africa and similar agro-ecological zones. Following a rigorous trialing and a stage-gate advancement process culminating in Stage 5 trials, CIMMYT advanced a total of four new elite maize hybrids in Southern Africa in 2021. Phenotypic data collected in Stage 4 and Stage 5 trials for the selected hybrids as well as information about the trial sites are provided in this dataset. These trials were conducted through a network of partners, including NARES, private seed companies, and NGOs, in eastern and southern Africa under various management and environmental conditions.
