Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzes genetic trends in maize breeding pipelines at CIMMYT across eastern/southern Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, using data from over 4,000 trials and 34,000 entries conducted globally over the last decade.
- - Genetic improvements in grain yield were significant, with increases recorded at rates of 138 kg/ha/year in Eastern/Southern Africa, 118 kg/ha/year in South Asia, and 143 kg/ha/year in Latin America.
- - The research indicates that success in genetic improvement is linked to the use of new breeding technologies, effective phenotyping networks, and stable funding, exemplified by the Eastern Africa Product Profile 1a pipeline achieving a 2.46%
