Experiment-based prototyping to design and assess cotton management systems in West Africa
Designing innovative combinations of techniques to improve the sustainability of cropping systems in poor countries is a major
challenge. Here, we developed a prototyping methodology to design, assess and adapt a crop ...
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 ...
Farmer Participatory Early-Generation Yield Testing of Sorghum in West Africa: Possibilities to Optimize Genetic Gains for Yield in Farmers’ Fields
The effectiveness of on-farm and/or on-station
early generation yield testing was examined to
maximize the genetic gains for sorghum yield
under smallholder famer production conditions
in West Africa. On-farm first-stage ...
An improved methodology for integrated crop management systems
Designing innovative combinations of techniques to improve the sustainability of a cropping system is a major challenge in many regions of the world. The available techniques are often added together, and assessed for yield ...
Effects of farmer managed natural regeneration on livelihoods in semi-arid West Africa
This paper used a multivalued treatment framework to assess the effects of farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR) on selected outcomes among 1080 rural household farmers in the Sahelian and Sudano-Sahelian ecozone of ...
