Assessment of genetic diversity of sorghum [sorghum bicolor (l.) Moench] germplasm in East and Central Africa
The study of genetic diversity in crops has a strong impact on plant breeding and maintenance of genetic resources. Comprehensive knowledge of the genetic biodiversity of cultivated and wild sorghum germplasm is an important ...
Combining ability for grain mold resistance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
In all sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) production systems, grain molds can reduce the yield and quality of short duration cultivars if they mature in wet and humid weather. This investigation was taken up to find out ...
Conservation Agriculture for combating land degradation in Central Asia: a synthesis
This manuscript reviews scientific findings on agricultural systems, associated land
degradation and selected remedies such as Conservation Agricultural (CA) practices to
counterbalance these. In particular, this review ...
Impact of salinity on physiological and biochemical traits in pearl millet
Salinity is one of the most severe environmental factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops in arid and semi-arid reg ions. Accumulation of excess salts in the rhizospheric environment results in disturbed ...
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 ...
Tester Effect on Combining Ability and Its Relationship with Line Performance per se for Grain Iron and Zinc Densities in Pearl Millet
Development of inbred lines with high general combining ability (GCA) is an important aspect of hybrid breeding research. Although broad-based open-pollinated populations (varieties and composites) are widely used to assess ...
Effect of triple-layer hermetic bagging on mould infection and aflatoxin contamination of maize during multi-month on-farm storage in Kenya
Field trials were conducted in small-scale farmers' grain stores in an aflatoxin endemic region to assess
the effect of storing maize in triple layer hermetic (PICS™) bags on aflatoxin contamination. Shelled
maize grain ...
Rangeland rehabilitation in the southern part of the Mediterranean basin
Rangelands of the southern part of the Mediterranean basin have for centuries provided forage for livestock and wildlife. Now their role as providers of ecosystem services and goods is being widely recognized by local ...
