Relation Of maize kernel Breakage Susceptibility To Rice Weevil Damage

Abstract

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the staple food crop for the majority of Kenya people. The crop is grown on large scale farms as well as in small-holdings. The latter category of farms accounts for the greater proportion of maize production. The Kenya government has a policy of self-sufficiency in maize production. Such a policy is economically sound as this saves the foreign exchange that would otherwise be spent on importation.
