Subtropical x tropical maize hybrids: A technological option for the colombian coffee growing area

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextLanguage: English Publication details: Mexico, DF (Mexico) CIMMYT : 2003Description: p. 250-251ISBN:
  • 970-648-106-0
Subject(s): In: Book of abstracts : Arnel R. Hallauer international symposium on plant breeding p. 250-251Summary: The Colombian coffee growing region lies between 1,200 and 1,800 masL with volcanic soils high in organic matter, high rainfall (1,700 to 2,100 mm/year), and cool nights (12-14 C). These are high (> 10 t/ha) yield potential environments for maize, making this maize a viable alternative either for intercropping with coffee ratoons or as a monocrop (Vanegas y Polania, 2002). But maize genotypes better adapted to this environment are required. One approach is to select and utilize the subtropica1 x tropical genotypes generated by CIMMYT.
