Contribution of previous legumes to soil fertility and millet yields in West African Sahel
Studies on combined effects of 4 legume crops residues and rock phosphate application on pearl millet
yield were undertaken on sandy acid soil field from 2012 to 2015 at ICRISAT Sahelian center (ISC)-
Sadore, Niger. The ...
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) ...
Overcoming Phosphorus Deficiency in West African Pearl Millet and Sorghum Production Systems: Promising Options for Crop Improvement
West Africa (WA) is among the most food insecure regions. Rapid human population
growth and stagnating crop yields greatly contribute to this fact. Poor soil fertility,
especially low plant available phosphorus (P) is ...
Identify best options of millet production through environment by millet genotype analysis under microdosing for improved management in farmers' field in Niger
The objectives of this activity are (1) identify site specific best bet options to improve millet productivity and productions in Niger and by the same way raise awareness of farmers to enhance adoption. (2) to identify ...
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 ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a multipurpose grain/fodder crop of the semi-arid tropics, feeding many
of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people. Genetic variation among
adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it ...
Geographical distribution of traits and diversity in the world collection of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., synonym: Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
