| Innovation Title | Pearl millet hybrid variety IKMH18001 for cultivation in the Sudanian Zone |
| Innovation description | IKMH18001 is the first commercial single cross hybrid released in Burkina Faso. It`s main biotic stress resistance is against downy mildew. It produces medium long heads, grey-colored anthers, and large grains/pods. It also stay green trait. It is a high-yielding (3.8 to 4.5 mt/ha) dual purpose hybrid i.e. cultivated for both grain and fodder yield. It is also high in Iron and Zinc. This variety will potentially contribute to SDG`s 1,2, and |
