Evaluate two sets of hybrids (30 hybrids developed from ESA and 25 developed from India across agroecologies in Kenya, Tanzania and Sudan
1] 46 Topcross hybrids developed from ESA OPVs and lines from WCA together with three OPV parents were evaluated as a PYT trial at Kiboko. A lattice square design with three replications was used. 2] Twenty one hybrids ...
Conduct Participatory Variety Selection (PVS) trials of promising varieties across target agroecologies in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya
PVS trials were established and evaluated in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda. In Tanzania for example, six varieties advanced from HOPE 1 were evaluated in 4 districts, each district with 15 trials. All the six candidate ...
Identify and promote drudgerry reducing small and medium scale sorghum production and processing mechanization technologies for use by women and youth
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate some selected planters on drudgery reduction, time required for sorghum sowing and its effect on yield parameters. Two (2) imported hands pushed planter (IHP) and two (2) locally ...
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 ...
Maize productivity and profitability in Conservation Agriculture systems across agro-ecological regions in Zimbabwe: A review of knowledge and practice
Conservation agriculture (CA) is increasingly promoted in southern Africa as a strategy to improve food
security and reverse soil degradation in the face of climate change. However, the performance of CA
under different ...
Evaluation of designated hybrid seed parents of pearl millet for blast resistance
One hundred sixty designated B-lines (maintainers of male sterile lines) of pearl millet were screened for blast
resistance under greenhouse conditions along with a resistant (ICMR 06444) and a susceptible (ICMB 95444)
check ...
Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of a heat shock protein 10 (Hsp10) from Pennisetum glaucum (L.), a C4 cereal plant from the semi-arid tropics
Heat shock proteins (Hsp10) belong to the
ubiquitous family of heat-shock molecular chaperones
found in the organelles of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Chaperonins assist the folding of nascent and stressdestabilized
proteins. ...

Poster on Price quality relationships in fodder trading in Niger with special regards to comparison of cowpea and groundnut haulms with concentrates, collected shrubs and grasses
Conduct grain nutritional quality analysis of farmer preferred/released finger and pearl millets cultivars
100 varieties comprising of the farmer preferred local cultivars and improved varieties cultivated in East and Southern Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Malawi and Zimbabwe) were planted in field at the ICRISAT-Kiboko ...
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 ...
