Nitrogen use efficiency by selected NERICA varieties in Burkina Faso

Evaluation of Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Corn ( L.) Varieties

In order to evaluate genetic diversity of grain yield, nitrogen uptake efficiency and selecting superior varieties, a factorial experiment with the based on Complete Blocks design with four replications was carried out in Saatlo agricultural research station, six corn genotypes (single cross 301,370,540,700,701 and Back cross) and three amounts of nitrogen fertilizer (urea) (27 as a control, 11...

EVIDENCE FOR DIFFERENT NITROGEN USE EFFlClENClES OF SELECTED SUGARCANE VARIETIES

A rapid screening (hydroponic) and field testing programme There is increasing interest in improving the nitrogen (N) use efficiency of cultivated crops, due to the high cost of synthetic N fertiliser. Since existing differences in N use efficiency between sugarcane varieties could be exploited to improve N fertilisation, a hydroponic pot experiment was conducted to test the performance of seve...

Antibiotic resistance in Burkina Faso.

Burkina Faso is one of the Subsaharan African nations. No national services for monitoring of antibiotic resistance are available, so the number of reports of resistance patterns among hospital pathogens are inconsistent. In order to evaluate antibiotic resistance, a total of 1998 valuable microrganisms were analysed during 2000 at the Medical Centre St. Camille of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso's c...
