ABSTRACT: Maize productivity depends on grain‐filling, which requires understanding the interactions among genotype, water and nutrient management. However, these interactions remain poorly investigated in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). This study investigates the influence of supplemental irrigation (SI) and fertiliser microdosing on grain‐filling and yields of maize varieties. Field experiment...
