Adoption of rice varieties that perform well under high iron-associated (HIA) stress environments can enhance rice production in West Africa (WA). This study reports the genetic characterization of 323 rice accessions and breeding lines cultivated in WA using Genotyping-by-Sequencing and their phenotypic response to HIA treatments in hydroponic sol...

Casamance is the main centre of cultivated traditional rainfed rice in Senegal including Oryza sativa and O. glaberrima species. Traditional landraces are an important source of genetic variability essential for the improvement of elite varieties adapted to local conditions. The study aimed at collecting and characterizing rice accessions cultivate...

RESUME Le mil sanio ou type tardif [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br)] est une céréale négligée et cultivée essentiellement dans les régions sud et sud-est du Sénégal. Il est très apprécié par les populations rurales à cause de ses qualités organoleptiques et fourragères. Une étude des pratiques culturales du mil sanio a été effectuée dans 26 parcelles...

Rice is the most consumed foods crop in Senegal. Despite its importance, the national level of production is low and does not meet the needs of the population. Thus, this production gap is supplemented annually by rice importation. In the southern part of the groundnut basin, rice is produced under rainfed conditions with a very low grain yield of...

In Senegal, rice plays a critical role for smallholder farmers by providing food security. However, rice production is very low compared to the high needs of the population. This might be explained to some extent by the use of not adapted and low yielding varieties. This study aimed at identifying the best upland rice varieties that meet farmers' c...
