DIVERSITY IN PHENOTYPIC TRAITS OF PEARL MILLET LANDRACES CONSERVED AT ICRISAT-NIGER AND BURKINA FASO GENEBANKS
L.A. BOUGMA, A. OUOBA, C. ZERBO, M.H. OUÉDRAOGO, N. SAWADOGO and M. SAWADOGO
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important crop for populations in arid and semi-arid areas of Africa and India. In Burkina Faso, pearl millet is one of main cereal crops, well known for climate resilient features and nutritional transcendency. However, most cultivated genotypes are landraces, whose productivity is still low(...)

Spatial distribution and temporal trends in precipitation concentration indices over Burkina Faso from 1993 to 2023
Joseph Yaméogo, Suzanne Koala, Songanaba Rouamba & Pawendkisgou Isidore Yanogo
Understanding the spatial distribution of rainfall is essential for organising the agricultural calendar and managing waterresources in river basins. This study aims to analyse rainfall concentration in Burkina Faso between 1993 and 2023. To thisend, daily rainfall data for this period were obtained from the National Meteorological Agency of B(...)
