Abstract
The result showed that maize lines can survive up to eight consecutive days of waterlogging when imposed at the V2 and V7 leaf stages. Exposure to waterlogging twice during the life cycle (at the V2 and V7 leaf stages) had the most significantly adverse affected on the growth and yield, followed by exposure at the V2 and V7 leaf stages individually. Waterlogging is triggered the early development of nodal roots and the formation of surface rooting as an adaptive response to waterlogging. Applying 50% of the RR of nitrogen at sowing and 50% at the ten-leaf stage improved the shoot and root growth, and shortened the days to anthesis and days to silking, even maize experienced waterlogging stress. Splitting the RR of nitrogen improved the growth and yield of maize when experiencing waterlogging stress. The screening identified the BRK and Sige-sige (Milako) maize lines were tolerant, while the Tiniguib (Monkayo) line was the most susceptible to waterlogging. These lines showed waterlogging tolerance which may serve as the parent materials for developing more resilient varieties for excessive moisture conditions
