Refine calibrations of NIRS of sorghum for stover and rgran tarits
Grain and fodder qualities are key traits for sorghum breeding in West-Africa (WA). Phenotyping of these qualities are challenging and requires high throughput technologies to tackle the number of progenies that are handled ...
Integrated soil fertility and Striga management
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the different sources of livestock manure and the rates on productivities of sorghum and millet in the Sudan savannah of Nigeria. The treatments include nine (9) different fertility ...
Improvement of pearl millet module in APSIM. Characterization of the main water stress patterns within pearl millet production agroecologies in A1, A, B zone (focus on A1&A)
Since tillering is one of the key environmental adaptive mechanism of sorghum&pearl millet (e.g. vanOosterom et al 1998, Jordan et al 2003, Borrell et al 2015), availability of a dynamic tillering module is a crucial feature ...
Analysis heterotic pools for hybrid sorghum breeding across the West-African Savannah zones based on genetic diversity analysis
For this study, a set of hybrids (over 200) was developed using new 16 A (14 new and 2 checks) lines and R lines from different breeding programs and countries. These hybrids were evaluated for their combining ability (GCA ...
Identify and promote best options of sorghum production management practices through genotype and soil management practices in farmers' field
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect seed dressing with market available seed dressing chemicals and fertilizers on sorghum and millet in the sudan savannah of Kano State Nigeria. The seed dressing chemical ...
Report on detailed analyses of gender differentiated demand for specific traits and trait combinations for sorghum adoption in the Sudan Savannah
A literature review of journal articles written since 2002 (the last publication date by the CGIAR of a book on Gender and PPB), was conducted using key search terms related to gender and PPB. The articles were categorized ...
