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 ...
Place of plant genetic resources in ecological intensification and options for sustainable production by smallholder farmers in West African Sahel and dry savannas
This literature survey was conducted in the framework of the Dryland Systems CRP in 2013. This draft paper is drawn from the technical report entitled "Achigan-Dako, G. Enoch, Sogbohossou O. Deedi, Segnon C. Alcade, N’Danikou ...
Effects of early mycorrhization and colonized root length on low-soilphosphorus resistance of West African pearl millet
Phosphorus (P) deficiency at early seedling stages is a critical determinant for survival and final
yield of pearl millet in multi-stress Sahelian environments. Longer roots and colonization with arbuscular
mycorrhizal ...
Towards a rational use of African rice (Oryza glaberrima Steud.) for breeding in SubSaharan Africa
Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice) plays an important role in germplasm enhancement for their adaptation to different ecologies of upland, lowland, irrigated, mangrove and deep water. The genebank of AfricaRice contains over ...
