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) ...
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 ...
Development of Sorghum Guinea Naine Diversified Population (GNDP)
Hundred and twelve S3 progenies from farmers’ selections in the Guinea Naine Diversified Population (GNDP) were phenotyped in two contrasted environments, low P and high P fields. Mean traits such as plant height, internode ...
Documentation of performances of at least 10 seed cooperatives in Mali
Seed producer cooperatives involved directly in different projects with ICRISAT and IER in Mali as partners were targeted for this activity. These cooperatives were trained from 2014 to 2016 on seed production techniques, ...
Multipurpose sorghum development and release in WCA
The objective of this activity was to identify multipurpose sorghum adapted to sudanian zone for better integration of crop and livestock (grain, quality fodder production). The second objective was to registrate/release ...
Identification of genomic regions associated with productivity, specific qualitative traits and low P adaptation using BCNAM populations
This research activity was conducted to access agronomic performance of five BCNAM biparental populations (Lata//SC566, Lata//IS15401, Lata//DouaG, Grinkan//IS15401 and Grinkan//SC566), which are supposed to carry different ...
Popularize existing improved sorghum varieties and hybrids (seed packs)
To reach the objective mentioned above, seed production of improved varieties and their dissemination by seed enterprises/seed cooperatives was our goal. So, farmers’ cooperatives were trained in quality seed production ...
BCNAM drought tolerant population with CSM63E as recurrent parent
The material characterized here are progenies in BC1F3 generation. These progenies were obtained by crossing seven (7) drought-specific donor parents (IS15428; IS16044; IS16173; IS10876; IS3583; BBISS08; BBISS09) with ...
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 ...
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 ...
