Drought-resistant maize hybrids could boost food security for millions worldwide.
The researchers analyzed different maize hybrids to see how they performed in different conditions. They found that some hybrids were better than others in terms of grain yield, with one hybrid, KDMI-15 × NEI-9202-B, standing out as the best overall. Other hybrids also showed consistent performance across different locations. Overall, the study showed that certain hybrids were more responsive to environmental conditions, which could help improve maize production in the future.
