Abstract
Throughout the lowland wet tropics, periodic nonprotracted drought caused by irregular rainfall distribu-tion isresponsible for sizable reductions in maize yield. This isparticularly true when reduced water availability coincides with the critical stage of crop development--flowering. Such a drought cannot be escaped by genutype maturity or planting date, nor are other species necessarily better adapted. Improving resistance of maize to this particular type of drought, then, could enhance productivity and minimize farmer risk...
