EPOP10
|
This trial includes
early-maturing white-grained Quality Protein Maize (QPM)
and normal (non-QPM) OPV's from CIMMYT and National
Programs of the SADC region, including QPM varieties.
Approximately one third of the entries are the best
experimental populations evaluated regionally in last
year's trial (EPOP09). The entries are adapted mostly
to mid-altitude environments of southern and eastern
Africa (800-1600 masl), but some entries may be suited
as well for lower altitudes. The trial is intended for
researchers interested in early maturing open-pollinated
cultivars, or seeking source germplasm for breeding
projects. For collaborators in Africa, EPOP10 will consist
of 20-50 entries to be grown in 3 replications of 2
- row plots. For requestes from outside Africa, the
trial will be sent with 16-20 entries to be grown in
3 replications of 2-row plots.

EIHYB10
|
This trial includes
early-maturing white-grained three-way and double-cross
hybrids from CIMMYT-Zimbabwe, National Programs of the
SADC region and private seed companies. Approximately
one third of the entries are the best hybrids evaluated
regionally in last year's trial (EIHYB09). The entries
are adapted mostly to mid-altitude environments of southern
and eastern Africa (800-1600 masl), but some entries
may be suited as well for lower altitudes. The trial
is intended for researchers interested in early to intermediate
maturing hybrid cultivars, or seeking source germplasm
for breeding projects. For collaborators in Africa,
EIHYB10 will consist of 50-70 entries, 3 replications
of 2-row plots. For requestes from outside Africa, the
trial will be sent with 24-36 entries to be grown in
3 replications of 2-row plots.
