Review of the symposium on developing drought and low N tolerant maize

Summary: The first day of the symposium was spent in establishing the need for the symposium and describing the extent of drought and low nitrogen growing conditions throughout the developing world. It was agreed that maize is often grown in regions or fields that are characterized by adverse soil and climatic (especially precipitation) conditions. thus one can expect that farmers in developing countries especially smallholders, need maize varieties that can tolerate limited water and nitrogen availability, the dominant growth limiting factors. Varieties intended for use by these farmers must therefore have a high degree of tolerance to drought and to low levels of soil nitrogen.
