12th Asian Maize Conference and Expert Consultation on maize for food, feed, nutrition; and environmental security; Bangkok Thailand, 30-1 Aug-Nov 2014 : extended summaries p. 192-202Summary: Changes in the global climate are now a reality; these changes have become more complex and unpredictable, effecting agriculture in general and maize production in particular, globally (WMO, 2007, 2011; Zaidi and Singh, 2005). The erratic distribution pattern of monsoon rains results in unpredictable occurrence of drought and waterlogging at high intensity and scale. This is one of the most serious constraints for maize production, particularly for South and Southeast Asia, where 80 percent of the maize cultivated area is still rainfed (IFAD, 2002; Osman et al., 2013; Zaidi et al., 2002; Zaidi and Singh, 2005). The unpredictability and frequent occurrences of waterlogging and drought within a maize cropping season in this region, implies the need for germplasm that has reasonable tolerance to both these major abiotic stresses.
