Popis: Abstract The selection of drought-tolerant genotypes from the existing gene pool is a preliminary step for breeding for drought tolerance. Research efforts aimed at exploring the ability of crops to withstand drought stress have not yet touched the realm of reproductive drought performance of local genotypes. To examine how local crop accessions demonstrate varying reproductive performance under drought conditions, twenty accessions of maize (Zea mays L.) were evaluated for six quantitative traits in a two-factor factorial completely randomized design with two replications between February to June of 2023. All the traits under study showed significant differences among the genotypes (p
