Drought affected rice areas are predicted to double by the end of this century, demanding greater tolerance in widely adapted mega-varieties. Progress on incorporating better drought tolerance has been slow due to lack of appropriate phenotyping protocols. Furthermore, existing protocols do not c...

Evaluating crop biodiversity is a challenging task and needs to integrate knowledge from different levels. This overview paper offers ways to tackle this challenge, illustrated by the case for drought tolerance in banana. KU Leuven hosts the International Musa Germplasm Collection managed by Biov...

Two major constraintsmilitatingagainst the
achievement of food security in West Africa (WA) are
recurrent drought and poor soil fertility. Seventeen early
maturing maize inbreds from IITA and CIMMYT were
used as parents to produce 136 diallel crosses which
were evaluated along with four checks in...

Herbaceous legumes are becoming increasingly important for the crop-livestock farming systems in the moist and semi-arid regions of West Africa as these crops cover the ground quickly, check erosion, contribute to soil fertility and provide nutritious food and fodder to human beings and livestock...
