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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
What unleashes innovations in the Legumes and Cereals farming Systems in the drylands: A gendered perspective
Agricultural and natural resource management
innovations have often been introduced, promoted and
adopted among local communities / farmers. However,
how the innovation process is perceived by men and
women, the relationships ...
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 ...
