Grain yield of maize (Zea mays L.) has low heritability under low soil nitrogen (low N) and drought, necessitating the use of secondary traits with strong associations with yield for selection. A base index involving anthesis-silking interval, plant and ear aspects, ears per plant, and stay green characteristic is used for selection for yield under...
