“Faidherbia-Flux”, an open observatory for GHG balance and C stocks in a semi-arid agro-sylvo-pastoral system (Senegal)
The ecosystem services provided by agro-silvo-pastoral systems are complex to assess or model, owing to high spatial and temporal heterogeneities.
In 2018, we set up a new long-term observatory , open to collaboration, for ...
“Faidherbia-Flux”: adapting crops to climate changes in a semi-arid agro-sylvo-pastoral open observatory (Senegal)
This project confirmed that Faidherbia is a large fertility islet to improve crop yield. New aspects for research include: using drones to upscale yield and biomass from small plot to the whole stand, estimating LER without ...
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 ...
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 ...
