Explore options for screening sorghum varieties for drought adaptation specifically for Sahelian growing conditions (sandy soils, low P)
In lysimetric system, 28 landraces and improved varieties from Burkina and Niger were assessed for response to low phosphorus and water deficit in complete randomized bloc design with 5 replications. Low phosphorus (LP) ...
Combining ability patterns among West African pearl millet landracesand prospects for pearl millet hybrid breeding
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important hybrid crop in India. However, to date limitedpearl millet hybrid development has been undertaken in West Africa (WA), which is the center of pearlmillet origin ...
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 ...
Multilocation progeny tests of Diversified Dual-Purpose Populaiton for yield and adaptation
Sorghum plays an important role in the diets and economies of the people of Nigeria, where the average per capita annual consumption among smallholder farmers is more than 75 kg/person. However, since 2009, there has been ...
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 ...
