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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a multipurpose grain/fodder crop of the semi-arid tropics, feeding many
of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people. Genetic variation among
adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it ...
Geographical distribution of traits and diversity in the world collection of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., synonym: Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The genebank at ICRISAT conserves the
largest collection of 23,092 pearl millet germplasm
accessions originating in 52 countries. A total of 15,979
landraces originating in 34 countries and having geographic
coordinates ...
Identification of SNP and SSR Markers in Finger Millet Using Next Generation Sequencing Technologies
Finger millet is an important cereal crop in eastern Africa and southern India with excellent
grain storage quality and unique ability to thrive in extreme environmental conditions. Since
negligible attention has been paid ...

Effects of early mycorrhization and colonized root length on low-soilphosphorus resistance of West African pearl millet
Phosphorus (P) deficiency at early seedling stages is a critical determinant for survival and final
yield of pearl millet in multi-stress Sahelian environments. Longer roots and colonization with arbuscular
mycorrhizal ...
