Combining ability for grain yield and other agronomic traits of early tropical maize lines under optimal, drought, and suboptimal soil nitrogen conditions
Abdoulazize Banhoro, Rasmata Nana, Yoseph Beyene, Isaiah Aleri, Andrew Chavangi, Aboubacar Sory, Marc Heijde
Maize (Zea mays L.) is crucial for food security and industrial use in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, its production is limited by drought and low soil nitrogen. Therefore, developing stress-tolerant maize hybrids is essential for enhancing productivity in the region. Effective selection of these hybrids depends on understanding the mode of inhe(...)

"Autorité et éducation à l’autonomie"
Barry Saïdou et Ouattara Fatié

son autonomie, n’est pas compatible avec l’exercice de toute forme
d’autorité. Parce qu’elle vise le développement des potentialités de
l’apprenant, l’affirmation de son individualité propre, alors elle doit
davantage le mettre dans de bonnes conditions d’apprentissage.
