The maize variety ‘KDV-1’ is an open-pollinated variety developed in Kenya as a Katumani composite9 and is adapted to arid, low altitude areas. It is a short-season (early maturing), white-seeded grain maize that is resistant to Maize Streak Virus (ECHO Staff, n.d.). Its production cycle is 45 to 52 days from seeding to tasseling and 75 to 90 days from seeding to harvest (mature ears; Dryland Limited, 2022). Recommended planting depth and spacing are 2-10 cm and 75-90 X 25-60 cm, respectively (Infonet Biovision, 2022). Deeper sowing (5 to 10 cm) and wider spacing (90 X 30-60 cm) is recommended for dryland areas. With a seed rate of 15-20 kg per hectare (ha), KDV-1 is expected to yield 15 to 42 90-kg bags/ha (2.2 to 3.8 metric tonnes/ha) (Dryland Limited, n.d).
