Impact of pulsed electromagnetic field treatment on seed yield and quality of soybean
An exposure of seeds to pulsed electromagnetic field (PEF) before planting is known to change and stimulate a series of biochemical and biological effects in the seeds. The plants raised from such PEF treated seeds are ...
Determinants of fertilizer microdose-induced yield increment of pearl millet on an acid sandy soil.
Recent studies have reported the benefits of fertilizer microdosing in increasing crop yields in low input
cropping systems. Little information is however available on the mechanisms underlying this effect.
The objective ...

Gender roles and constraints in cowpea and groundnut cropping: a case from Niger
A poster presented in Pan-African Grain Legume & World Cowpea Conference 27 February to 4 March 2016 at Zambia.
“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 ...
Linking farm and soil nutrient balances with economic performance of main agricultural livelihood system types in a semi-arid region of Burkina Faso
Providing sufficient food to increasing populations in SubSaharan
Africa without undermining agro-ecosystems is a growing
challenge. Addressing this challenge requires developing an array of
sustainable soil nutrient ...
Mid-term review inception report: Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East Africa and the Sahel: taking successes in land restoration to scale
This report is the results of the mid-term review for the EU-IFAD project "Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East Africa and the Sahel: taking successes in land restoration to scale" ...
Catalyzing Adoption of Agricultural Technologies
What do we mean by catalyzing? And why do we need to catalyze it? It is not a natural occurrence….. It doesn’t happen automatically. Change is possible but often difficult especially among farmers. And what we are aiming ...
Floristic diversity of Piliostigma asssociations in relation to latitudinal gradient, soil and climate variables in Burkina Faso, West Africa
We examined the floristic composition and its relationship with environmental
factors across 80 floristic relevés of Piliostigma stands distributed along a north-south gradient
in Burkina Faso. Various diversity indices ...
