Explore options for screening sorghum varieties for drought adaptation specifically for Sahelian growing conditions (sandy soils, low P)
In lysimetric system, 28 landraces and improved varieties from Burkina and Niger were assessed for response to low phosphorus and water deficit in complete randomized bloc design with 5 replications. Low phosphorus (LP) ...
Combining ability patterns among West African pearl millet landracesand prospects for pearl millet hybrid breeding
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important hybrid crop in India. However, to date limitedpearl millet hybrid development has been undertaken in West Africa (WA), which is the center of pearlmillet origin ...
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 ...
Development of Sorghum Guinea Naine Diversified Population (GNDP)
Hundred and twelve S3 progenies from farmers’ selections in the Guinea Naine Diversified Population (GNDP) were phenotyped in two contrasted environments, low P and high P fields. Mean traits such as plant height, internode ...
Multipurpose sorghum development and release in WCA
The objective of this activity was to identify multipurpose sorghum adapted to sudanian zone for better integration of crop and livestock (grain, quality fodder production). The second objective was to registrate/release ...
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 ...
Agro-morphological characterization of West and Central African pearl millet accessions
Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] was domesticated in Sahelian West Africa. This highly outcrossing crop is one of the most important staple cereals in the semiarid tropics, adapted to very harsh rain-fed ...
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 ...
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 ...
