| Description |
Describes experiences of: ICRISAT, INRAN with Participatory plant breeding
This project is designed to develop in a farmer-participatory manner pearl millet [Pennisetumglaucum (L.) R. Br.] and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] populations or cultivars with specific adaptation to different production environments in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. It consists of two sub-projects dealing with specific targets: (1) Dynamic genepool management and farmer- participatory recurrent population improvement of sorghum and pearl millet; and (2) development of improved sorghum cultivars with high phosphorus (P) efficiency and adaptation to low soil fertility using innovative screening, hereafter abbreviated as “P efficiency in sorghum.” |
