Effect of Moisture Stress on Maize (Zea Mays L.) Yield and Water Productivity

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the world’s third most important cereal crop after wheat and rice grown primarily for grain and secondly for fodder [1]. In Ethiopia, the crop is one of the leading food grains selected to assume a national commodity crop to support the food self-sufficiency program of the country. It is grown in moisture stress areas to high rainfall areas and from low lands to high lands [2]. Nevertheless, the production and productivity are strongly challenged by the rapidly dwindling water resources and the growing increase in competition for water.
