Photoperiod Sensitivity and Variability of Agromorphological Traits and Brix Content of Sweet Sorghum Cultivated in Burkina Faso under Two Sowing Dates
N. Sawadogo, J. Tiendrebeogo, G. Naoura, T. L. K. Béré, W.H. Tondé, Sawadogo, P. Bationo-KandoSweet sorghum is mainly cultivated for the sweetness of its stems and the quality of its fodder. Unfortunately, its cultivation is gradually being abandoned in Burkina Faso due to climatic hazards. In a general context of strong variations in the rainfall regime, it is, therefore, important to...

Evaluation of the Productivity of Hybrid Varieties of Maize (Zea Mays L.) Under Tropical Climatic Conditions in the Sudanian Zone of Burkina Faso
Abdoulazize BANHORO, Rasmata NANA, Hawa Temene KONE, Aboubakar SORY, Mahamadi Hamed OUEDRAOGO, Mahamadou SAWADOGO, Bruno TINLANDIn Burkina Faso, maize yields are very low in the farming environment because its
production is severely limited by biotic and abiotic constraints. To meet the
productivity challenge, hybrid maize varieties would be a major asset. However,
hybrids are difficult to access, as their breeding...
