Maize is the third most important crop in the world after wheat and rice, being grown throughout the temperate, sub-tropical, and tropical zones wherever rainfall or irrigation is adequate. In Nigeria, it also takes third place, albeit behind sorghum and millet, and occupies more hectarage than any of the cereal crops in the humid forest zone.
