Resistance Evaluation of Pearl Millet- Male-Sterility Maintainer Populations against Downy Mildew Disease in Burkina Faso
Mady Sawadogo; Inoussa Drabo; Armel Rouamba; Nerbéwendé Sawadogo
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) is an important cereal crop in semi-arid regions, but its production is constrained by downy mildew caused by Sclerospora graminicola. The development of resistant male-sterility maintainer lines is important for improving the resistance of pearl millet hybrids. This study aimed to develop and scr(...)

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merill) Productivity under Phospho-Potassium Fertilization in Burkina Faso
Ousséni Berthe, Aboubacar Sory, Arnaud Rodrigue Zongo, Abdoul Hadi Diaby Kassamba and Rasmata Nana
Background and Objective: The low availability of phosphorus and potassium in the soil, combined with the use of NPK formulas that are not specific to soybean cultivation, partly explain the low yield of this crop. In this context, an agronomic experiment was conducted in the field during the rainy seasons, with the aim of determining the effe(...)

Rheological properties of corn-wheat composite bread after common and separated hydration: from raw material to final product properties
Sonagnon H.S. Kouhounde, Hama Cisse, Hilarie Bonane, Ali Ouedraogo, Minnana Fellak, Mamoudou H. Dicko
Background: The war in Ukraine has led to a sharp rise in the cost of food imports, including wheat. In response to this situation, the FAO has encouraged African countries to make greater use of their local grains in breadmaking. Thus, this study aims to optimize the formulation of composite bread made from wheat and corn flour.
