What is Maize Variety Evaluation for Leaf Blight about?

The study evaluated 12 improved maize varieties for resistance to northern leaf blight at Jinka Agricultural Research Center in Ethiopia. The variety BH660 showed high resistance with a low incidence of 13.7%, while BHQPY545, although susceptible, yielded the highest at 4.1 kg/plot, making it suitable for midland maize production in the South Omo zone. The findings suggest that resistant and high-yielding varieties are essential for improving maize production in areas affected by this disease.
