Identify and promote drudgerry reducing small and medium scale sorghum production and processing mechanization technologies for use by women and youth
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate some selected planters on drudgery reduction, time required for sorghum sowing and its effect on yield parameters. Two (2) imported hands pushed planter (IHP) and two (2) locally ...
Sorghum genotypes, microdosing and striga management to improve productivity under water management technologies in Burkina Faso
Last rainy season was the third year of the experiment. However we observed during the three seasons contrasting performance of the crop related not only to the treatments but also to the cropping environment. In fact ...

Evaluation of heat tolerant chickpea lines for grain yield and other adaptive features under optimal and stress conditions
Eighteen chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.) germplasms (with the standard and local checks) and 2 planting dates were laid on RCBD with three replication in order to be evaluated for grain yield and other adaptive traits. The ...
Assessing crop model improvements through comparison of sorghum (sorghum bicolor L. moench) simulation models: A case study of West African varieties
Better defining niches for the photoperiod sensitive sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) varieties ofWest Africa into the local cropping system might help to improve the resilience of food production in theregion. In ...
Women voice in marketing and management decision making in West African drylands’ households
Arinloye A.D 1., Binam J.N, Sissoko M.M., Traore P.C.S., Kalinganire A. and P. Savadogo (2016). Women voice in marketing and management decision making in West African drylands’ households. Poster presented at the CGIAR ...
Peanuts that keep aflatoxin at bay: a threshold that matters
Aflatoxin contamination in peanuts poses major challenges for vulnerable populations of subSaharan Africa and South Asia. Developing peanut varieties to combat preharvest Aspergillus flavus infection and resulting aflatoxin ...
Screening of pigeonpea breeding, germplasm and hybrids in disease sick plot to wilt and SMD and identify combine sources of resistance
Total 796 promising breeding lines, germplasm and hybrid were screened to wilt and SMD in disease nursery under artificial epiphytotic conditions at ICRISAT, Patancheru. The lines were evaluated in two replications under ...
Relevance of limited-transpiration trait for lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) in South Asia
Drought is one of the most important environmental factors that limit crop production. It has been hypothesized that a limited-transpiration trait under high vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a mechanism for water conservation ...
Diversification of male sterility sources in hybrid breeding programme
Wild relatives accessions are crossed with the cultivated types and the derived populations are searched for the expression of male sterility traits. The identified male sterile are tested for the stability of the sterility ...
