Narrative
Mostly of flint type but some dent present. Open-pollinated. Plant ht. is 300 cm. Lodging -- moderate 4. Ear ht. is 150 cm, 1 ear per stalk, good ear coverage, ear length is 25-30 cm, cob color is white, rows are variable (12 or 14), white kernel, good resistance to rust, good resist. to blight, susceptible to corn borer, and other disease resistance factors not tested. It is one of the basic maize breeding populations in Tanzania for areas with 3000 to 6500' elev. Future use -- for the variety cross Ukiriguru Composite A crossed with Ukiriguru Composite B-W.
