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(...)

Investigating the Use of Local Materials for the Construction of a Solar/Biomass Hybrid Cooker
Iliyassé Konkobo, Jacques Nébié, Benjamin Kiema, Boubou Bagré, Guy Tubreoumya, Armand Bowendkuni Korsaga, Tizane Daho, and Antoine Béré
There are many locally available materials that can be used in the construction of cooking devices. Materials account for a significant portion of construction costs, and reducing their cost can help lower the overall cost of such projects. One of the most effective ways to reduce costs in the development of affordable cooking systems is to pr(...)

Introduction: In Burkina Faso, sesame is one of the most widely grown oil and
rend crops. Several varieties are grown in different regions, but little is known
about their nutritional characteristics. The objective of this study was to evaluate
the impact of the production area on the nutritional characteristics of two sesame
varieties gro(...)

Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are crucial for preventing malaria and other vector-
borne diseases, effectively reducing transmission and mortality rates. However, their
uptake remains low, influenced by textile preferences, with polyester nets being
favored for comfort, despite their shorter lifespan compared to other materials. A

The centre of origin of Bambara groundnut (BGN; Vigna subterranea L.) is Western Sub-Saharan Africa. Due to its high nutritional value and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses,
this neglected and underutilised species has recently gained significant attention. However, BGN production faces several challenges, including a lack of quality v(...)

Fenitrothion is an organophosphorus insecticide widely used in Sahelian countries. However, fenitrothion undergoes rapid degradation, generating many by-products, the main one being 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (MNP) known to be hazardous for humans and the environment. The intensive use of fenitrothion has led to environmental contamination, raisin(...)
