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 ...
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 ...
Assessing the genetic diversity of 48 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes in the Guinea savanna agro-ecology of Ghana, using microsatellite-based markers
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the most important grain legume in Ghana. However, its production
is constrained by a myriad of biotic and abiotic stresses which necessitate the development and use of
superior varieties ...
Report on yield results from dual-purpose crops trials in 2014 in the Wa-Bobo-Sikasso transect in the West African Sahel and Dry Savannas
Preliminary report on yield results from dual-purpose crops trials in 2014 in the Wa-Bobo-Sikasso transect in the West African Sahel and Dry Savannas
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 ...
Participatory Methodology Gender preference in dual purpose crops in Niger
Nigerien women face systematic discrimination in terms of access to land, livestock and other assets. Female represents 36% of the economically active population in Agriculture (FAOSTAT, 2013) despite the fact that most ...
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 ...
Farmer incentives to protect and manage on-farm tree natural regeneration in Nigerien Dryland
The present data are related to drivers of tree conservation on farmlands.
