CAH1519

CIMMYT's South Asia waterlogging- and drought-tolerant (SAWLDT) pipeline focuses on developing medium- to late-maturing maize hybrids with yellow grain color that are high-yielding, have good standability, tolerance to waterlogging and drought stresses, and resistance to TLB and fusarium stalk rot.     General Information Adaptation/Agroecological zone Rainfed ecology of South Asia Hybrid Type: Single cross     Seed Production Characteristics Female seed yield  3.47 t/ha Male seed yield  2.78 t/ha Nicking - 3.0 days     Biotic Stress Performance Turcicum leaf blight (1-9) 4.5 Diseases are scored on 1-9 scale, where 1 = Highly resistant; 5 = Tolerant; 9 = Highly susceptible     Abiotic Stress Performance Grain yield under drought stress 3.2 t/ha Grain yield under waterlogging stress 2.1 t/ha     Agronomic Characteristics Maturity 110 DAP Grain yield under optimum conditions 7.5 t/ha Grain yield under rainfed conditions 5.3 t/ha Grain yield under drought stress 3.2 t/ha Grain yield under waterlogging stress 2.1 t/ha Plant height 199 cm Ear height 93 cm Ear Position 0.4 Anther-silking interval 1.0 days     Further Links Full Announcement Regional Trial Data Summary Regional Trial Site Information     Comments Product information is based on data from the CIMMYT Hyderabad Maize Regional On-Station Trials (2018)
