A field experiment was conducted at Teaching and Research Farm of Department of Crop Production, under Faculty of Agriculture, University of Maiduguri, during 2010 and 2011 rainy season. Four pearl millet varieties: V1=SOSAT-C-88, V2=ZATIP, V3=LACRI-9702-IC and V4=EX-BORNO was intercropped with Groundnut (Var. Samnut – 14), Soybean (Var.TGX – 1830-2E), Cowpea (Var.IT89KD - 288).....

Little information was available on the genetics of pearl millet restorers available in West and Central Africa. Hence, diallel analysis was carried out using six parents and 30 F1’s, to identify the nature of gene action, and improve the restorer gene pool. The genotype ICMR 157004 is early flowering with high biomass yield. The cross ICMX 1770192 (2.19 t/ha) ICMX 1770197 (2.14 t/ha) and.... Read more
