Transfer of resistance gene in cowpea is under several factors making it difficult. As for cowpea flower bud thrips, two sets of crosses were done from two resistant (TVu 1509 and Sanzisabinli) and one susceptible ...

Cassava anthracnose is a plant disease that affects cassava stems, petioles and fruits. The aim of this study was to analyze the diversity of cassava anthracnose symptoms in Ivory Coast and then to identify and characterize ...

In the maize producing regions of SubSaharan Africa (SSA), compounding effects of genotype-by-environment interaction have necessitated breeding maize for outstanding performance and stability across varying environments. ...

Face à la baisse de la fertilité des sols entrainant une faible productivité agricole, la présente étude a été menée pour évaluer les effets de trois amendements organo-biologiques (Bokashi, compost simple, compost enrichi ...

A field experiment was conduct in 2008 and repeated in 2009 crop season at the linkage farm of the Univesity of Nigeria, Nsukka to evaluate growth and yield responses of five cultivars of taro ( Colocasia esculenta) to ...

Objectifs : cette étude vise à déterminer l'effet des fertilisants biologiques sur les paramètres physico-chimiques des sols et sur la productivité de la tomate (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) en zone sub-saharienne du ...

Plant breeding experiments require the use of appropriate experimental designs that will efficiently block variation due to wide heterogeneity nature of tropical soils. The primary objective of this study was to assess ...

Agricultural management practices are frequently non conservative and can lead to substantial loss of soil organic carbon and soil fertility, but for many regions in Africa the knowledge is very limited. To study the ...

A sound breeding program for maize improvement is very important to meet the demands of the growing population. Therefore, combining ability and heterosis were studied in a 4 x 4 full diallel cross in maize for growth ...
