What induced farmers to protect and manage on-farm tree natural regeneration in Nigerien Dryland?
During the second half of the 20th century the Sahel experienced one of the most striking shifts in climate known globally since instrumental records began to be kept-from anomalously abundant rains in the 1950's and 1960's ...
Training on Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration
This formation is part of research and scaling-out activities of the CCAFS regarding the Regeneration Naturally Assisted. A diagnostic made during the campaign, which took place between 2014 and 2015, has highlighted tthe ...
Gender preferred dual purpose crops with laboratory evidence
Working document on gender preference on crops along with evidence from laboratories for food-feed traits.
Identification of quantitative trait loci for yield and yield related traits in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under different water regimes in Niger and Senegal
Yield under drought stress is a highly complex trait with large influence to even a minor fluctuation in the environmental conditions. Genomics-assisted breeding holds great promise for improving such complex traits more ...
Protocole pour l’évaluation de la diversité des cultures, des espèces agro forestières et des animaux à Aguié, Maradi
This survey protocol for the Focus Group Discussions (FGD) was developed to assess the diversity of nutritious local foods vs imported foods in Niger, West Africa. The aim of the FGD is to retrieve informations upon (a) ...
Restoration of degraded land for food security and poverty reduction in East Africa and the Sahel: taking successes in land restoration to scale
The project website is designed to operate through bringing key partners from the public and private sectors, across research, extension, market, and governance institutions to work together in an iterative co-learning ...
Provenance variation in seed- and seedling-related traits in survival, growth and dry matter partitioning of Sclerocarya birrea subsp. caffra, a potential agroforestry species, in response to water stress
Many wild plant food resources are eaten across Africa in addition to the more commonly known agricultural food (Mojeremane and Tshweenyane, 2004). The significance that edible wild indigenous plants make to the diets of ...
Six monthly progress report on dual purpose crops
Six monthly progress report on work undertaken in gender preferred dual purpose crops.
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 ...
Use of sorghum on stepwise substitution of maize in broiler feeds in Niger
With an objective to demonstrate the merits of diets based on locally produced non-tannin sorghums as against maize on total of 240 1-day old broiler chicks. Results indicated that tannin free sorghum had nutritional value ...
