Abstract
Two trials were conducted to screen germplasm for heat and drought tolerance. In the 1st, the performance of 25 genotypes under terminal drought stress was assessed. Lines A344, A268, A286, BAT 336, A442, BAT 477, Umvoti, and Domino were high-yielding (811, 750, 713, 717, 665, 659, 608, and 667 kg/ha, resp.) and heat- and drought-tolerant; the 1st 4 genotypes were also resistant to angular leaf spot…
