The objectives of this study were to investigate water saving strategies in the paddy field and to evaluate the performance of some of the newly released rice varieties. Field experiments were conducted at Fanaye in the Senegal River Valley during two rice growing seasons in 2015. Three irrigatio...

Towards a rational use of African rice (Oryza glaberrima Steud.) for breeding in Sub-Saharan Africa
Using interspecific crosses involving Oryza glaberrima Steud. as donor and O. sativa L. as recurrent parents, rice breeders at the Africa Rice Center developed several 'New Rice for Africa (NERICA)' improved varieties. A smaller number of interspecific and intraspecific varieties have also been r...

Growing rice in saline soils by minimizing damage on growth and yield remains a challenge. We conducted field experiments in the Africa Rice research field located in the Senegal River delta (16° 11ʹ N, 16° 15ʹ W) to study the effects of three management options of fertilization e.g. (i) nitrogen...

Suitable management options to improve the productivity of rice cultivars under salinity stress
Rice is one of the most consumed crop around the globe and its production needs to be increased in a context of climate change and water scarcity. Rice roots, as most land plants, can establish symbiotic association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Rice has emerged, in the past decade, as...

The agronomic interest of African rice and the morphological similarities with other species, arouse the necessity to characterize African rice for recovery and conservation. The present study aims primarily to characterize phenotypically and genetically African rice for better exploitation in ai...

Soil related constraints are major limiting factors in crop production in the Sahel. The objective of this study was to assess the properties of farmer's fields soil and irrigation water in Niger and the implications in rice improvement. Composite soil samples were collected from irrigated and no...

Rice Fields Chemical and Physical Properties and the Implications on Breeding Strategie
Increase grain yield potential is one of the most important objectives of any cereal crop breeding program. To efficiently develop superior rice lines by the introgression of favorable alleles for yield and yield component traits, a strategy of alternate phenotype–genotype selection was used. The...
