Overcoming Phosphorus Deficiency in West African Pearl Millet and Sorghum Production Systems: Promising Options for Crop Improvement
West Africa (WA) is among the most food insecure regions. Rapid human population
growth and stagnating crop yields greatly contribute to this fact. Poor soil fertility,
especially low plant available phosphorus (P) is ...
Introgression of striga resistance into popular Sudanese sorghum varieties using marker assisted selection
Witchweed (Strigaspp.) is one of the most important cereals production constraints globally and is projected to worsen with anticipated climate change. It is especially a devastating parasitic weed in Sub-Saharan Africa ...
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 ...
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 ...
Identify and promote best options of sorghum production management practices through genotype and soil management practices in farmers' field
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect seed dressing with market available seed dressing chemicals and fertilizers on sorghum and millet in the sudan savannah of Kano State Nigeria. The seed dressing chemical ...
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 ...
No need to breed for enhanced colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve low-P adaptation of West African sorghums
Aims Western Africa (WA) sorghums are predominantly
cultivated under low plant available phosphorus (P)
soil conditions with a diverse population of arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) present. This study aims to
determine ...
