The research for development efforts at DS sites in India used multi-disciplinary and systems approaches that build on the indigenous coping and adaptation strategies to achieve enhanced resilient and sustainable intensification ...
Are pest regulation and erosion alleviation services conflicting orsynergistic? Lessons from Sahel pearl millet
tFrom 2010 to 2011 in Niger, the effects of a wind erosion-alleviating practice, i.e. mulching pearl milletfields with crop residue, on populations of and damage induced by millet stem borer (MSB), head miner(MHM), and ...
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)-

Hill placement of manure and fertilizer micro-dosing improves yield and water use efficiency in the Sahelian low input millet-based cropping system
tInadequate nutrient supply and insufficient rainfall are the most important limiting factors for crop pro-duction in the Sahelian agro-ecological zones. Targeted technology application may help to improvethe efficient use ...
Impact of depth of placement of mineral fertilizer micro-dosing on growth, yield and partial nutrient balance in pearl millet cropping system in the Sahel
A study was carried out in the rainy seasons of 2008 and 2009 in Niger to investigate the effects of fertilizer microdosing
on root development, yield and soil nutrient exploitation of pearl millet. Different rates of ...
Determinants of fertilizer microdose-induced yield increment of pearl millet on an acid sandy soil.
Recent studies have reported the benefits of fertilizer microdosing in increasing crop yields in low input
cropping systems. Little information is however available on the mechanisms underlying this effect.
The objective ...
Impacts of water and soil conservation strategies on households’ food security in North West of Benin
This study aims at analyzing the impact of water and soil conservation strategies on households’ food security in the North-western part of Benin. It was conducted in the municipalities of Boukombé and Ouaké. Three villages ...
Soil fertility management demonstration protocol Rainy season 2015
Over exploitation of soil and absence of fallow system expose soil to degradation. In addition climate variability is another threat. Under such conditions use of copping innovation may be the alternative. However in ...
