Title Management Practices to Increase Yield and Yield Stability of Pearl Millet in Africa

Subject Millets
 
Description Fertility, soil, and crop management practices that could have an impact on improving millet production in the major millet growing areas of Africa are described. These factors are examined in terms of their potential impact on production and their availability to the resource-poor farmer. Important practices that optimize the use of available water are discussed. If farmers of the semi-arid tropics of West Africa1190improve the fertility of their soils and move from hand tools to using animal traction, increased and stable yields are possible in this drought-prone region.
