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, ...
Aspirations of the youth: Implications for legumes and cereals value chains in the drylands
The challenge of engaging the youth in the legumes and cereals value chains in the drylands remains under represented because very little quantitative and qualitative research has been carried out on aspirations of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
