Evaluation and identification of source of resistance to gray leaf spot (Cercospora zeae maydis) in selected maize inbred lines in Kenya

July-September 2025 - Vol 17 Num. 3

Gray leaf spot (GLS) caused by Cercospora zeae maydis is one of the major biotic constraints limiting maize (Zea mays L.) production and productivity in Kenya. The objective of this study was to evaluate inbred lines and select lines resistance to GLS from a diverse collection of genotypes and develop GLS resistant maize...
