In the Katanga, in the peasant environment, the middle yield of corn oscillates between 800 and 1,000 kg.ha-1, against 3,000 to 4,000 kg.ha-1 and 6,000 to 8,000 kg.ha-1 in the big agricultural exploitations and in the stations of research. To solve the problem of deficit and dependence opposite the outside, the experimentations have been led to Kasapa farming to value effective varieties of corn. Fourteen varieties of corn exits of the Business Pannar, Republic South African have been valued. In the context of the province of the Katanga, the varieties adapted to the climatic conditions degenerated and don't permit to achieve some good yield anymore. Besides, with the climatic change observed these last decades, the effective variety selection will permit to put at the disposal of the peasants of the varieties of corn adapted to the climatic conditions degenerated and to good potential of yield in grains.
