Groundnut lines that combine several desirable traits into single genotype to meet the needs of the farmer, consumer and industry.
Single-seed descent, pedigree, and backcross methods of breeding are used to improve the target traits. Selection in segregating populations are enabled by (a) markers for three traits, resistance to rust and late leaf ...
Restoration of Degraded Lands in West Africa Sahel: Review of experiences in Burkina Faso and Niger
This is a comprehensive literature review of land restoration activities in West Africa Sahel.
Water constraints and the inherent soil poverty are the major factors that limit crop yields and productivity of cropping systems ...

The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) has set aspirational targets to contribute to System-Level Outcomes (SLOs) on reducing poverty, improving food and nutritional security for health ...
Development of segregating populations for heat stress tolerance in chickpea
Breeding materials for heat tolerance were at different stages of development. A total of 4 F1s, 5 F2 populations, 3 F4 populations, and 16 F5 populations were advanced to next generation in normal season 2015-16 at ...
Multilocation progeny tests of Diversified Dual-Purpose Populaiton for yield and adaptation
Sorghum plays an important role in the diets and economies of the people of Nigeria, where the average per capita annual consumption among smallholder farmers is more than 75 kg/person. However, since 2009, there has been ...
Repeat assessment of CSSL of peanut (introgression of AixAd into cultivated Fleur11) in Lysimeters and LeasyScan, and analysis of the multiyear data
Transpiration efficiency (TE) measurements were carried out in a lysimetric system, which has been described in many papers by the group (see Vadez et al., 2014). In short, groundnut plants were grown in 1.2-m length and ...
Integrated soil fertility and Striga management
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the different sources of livestock manure and the rates on productivities of sorghum and millet in the Sudan savannah of Nigeria. The treatments include nine (9) different fertility ...
