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 ...

Experimental Designs for Alley Cropping to Estimate Shrub x Grass Interaction
Alley cropping, an agroforestry system, comprises rows of perennial shrubs or trees bordering
the alleys of grasses/crops. An appropriately chosen alley cropping provides improvement in
feeds for small ruminants, food ...
ICARDA’s Strategy 2017-2026 for Biometrics and Statistics Support to its Research: Enhancing Research Quality for Innovation and Knowledge Sharing in Biodiversity, Germplasm Enhancement and Sustainable Agri-Food Systems
This document describes the goals and objectives of Biometrics and Statistics Section
(BSS), highlights current status and the challenges in the changing agricultural landscape
to sustainably support the livelihood and the ...
Exploring dryland cereals and legumes for addressing food security: ATLAS DCL CGIAR, Research Program on Dryland Cereals and Legumes Agri-Food Systems
Population growth and climate change threatens the world’s capacity to produce food into the future. Dryland cereal and legume (DCL) crops are
part of any global solution to food security challenges. But these crops are ...
2016 Work-plan of Biometrics and Statistics Section (BSS)
Biometrics and Statistics support will be made available in the design of experiments, data analysis and inference, and statistical review of scientific manuscripts. Support will also be given in statistical computing and ...
Development of GxExM specific, economically most viable options for rabi-sorghum belt agroecologies.
Environmental constrains has been characterized (Kholova et al. 2013, attached) and the lucrative adaptive traits (stay-green) under the current management in given agro-ecologies identified (Kholova et al. 2014). The ...
Development of FIGS subsets for major biotic and abiotic stresses
The Focused Identification of Germplasm Strategy (FIGS) is used to develop best bet subsets for breeders sought traits. A total of 11 FIGS subsets were developed since December 2015 with a total of 1225 accessions (Table ...
Improvement of pearl millet module in APSIM. Characterization of the main water stress patterns within pearl millet production agroecologies in A1, A, B zone (focus on A1&A)
Since tillering is one of the key environmental adaptive mechanism of sorghum&pearl millet (e.g. vanOosterom et al 1998, Jordan et al 2003, Borrell et al 2015), availability of a dynamic tillering module is a crucial feature ...
Basic research on deciphering the crops water use components (e.g. TE, canopy growth, TR&VPD relation, role of aquaporins etc.)
The relevance of phenotyping pipeline as a support for breeding for water limited environments has been validated through QTL co-localization technique on the example of pearl millet fine-mapping population (simultaneously ...
