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 ...
Assessment of Contour Bunding Technology for Improved Land and Water Management in Mali
This research was carried out in three agro-climatic regions of Mali (Mopti, Koulikoro and Sikasso) to assess
contour bunding technology (CBT) for improved land and water management. Reference was made to
existing literature ...
Integrated use of fertilizer micro-dosing and Acacia tumida mulching increases millet yield and water use efficiency in Sahelian semi-arid environment
Limited availability of soil organic amendments and unpredictable rainfall, decrease crop yields drastically in the Sahel. There is, therefore, a need to develop an improved technology for conserving soil moisture and ...
Scaling of integrated options of FMNR, Soil and Water Conservation and Micro Dosing of Fertilizers using the planed comparison approach
This guideline aims at supporting the process of scaling of integrated options of restoration of soil fertility in the project on ‘’Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East Africa and ...
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 ...

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 ...
