Abstract

This poster was presented on October 23rd, 2012 in Cincinnati, Ohio at four in the after noon. Conservation agriculture practice in southern Africa was combined with drought-tolerant maize in order to benefit of genetic improvement and sustainable land management. Various environmental and crop benefits were found, including better tasting corn and easier pounding of maize for porridge.
