Farmer Participatory Early-Generation Yield Testing of Sorghum in West Africa: Possibilities to Optimize Genetic Gains for Yield in Farmers’ Fields
The effectiveness of on-farm and/or on-station
early generation yield testing was examined to
maximize the genetic gains for sorghum yield
under smallholder famer production conditions
in West Africa. On-farm first-stage ...
Characterization of seasonal pattern of drought stress using modeling approach. I. An environmental characterization reveals that water stress is currently not a major constraint to sorghum production in Mali
Drought stress is a prevalent feature of semi-arid tropical climates but when, where, how much and how often drought stress reduces yield remains largely an unanswered question. In West Africa, there is indeed significant ...
