Influence of the Year and Growing Area on Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Production in the Central and North-Central Zones of Côte d’Ivoire (Departments of Bouake and Katiola)

Several studies conducted in recent years Côte d’Ivoire reveal that agriculture is increasingly affected by the adverse effects of climate variability. The present study aims at evaluating effect zone and year cultivation on productivity maize Central North-Central zones Cote d’Ivoire. It was carried out for two (2020 2021). experimental design used a completely randomized block with three replications. Observations were made 12 agronomic parameters (plant size, internode collar diameter, number leaves, internodes, cob insertion level, length, total kernels, dry weight, kernel yield). results showed all traits significantly influenced locality, except leaves. highest values observed locality Bouaké. However, did not influence maize. This will help to avoid yield decreases due rainfall disturbances as consequence change.
