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 ...
Are millet and sorghum good alternatives to maize in layer’s feeds in Niger, West Africa?
Niger is one of the West African country producing pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum, Setaria italica) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor).
While pearl millet and sorghum are for human consumption, corn is imported and its high ...
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 ...

No need to breed for enhanced colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve low-P adaptation of West African sorghums
Aims Western Africa (WA) sorghums are predominantly
cultivated under low plant available phosphorus (P)
soil conditions with a diverse population of arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) present. This study aims to
determine ...
