Increasing farmers' and breeders' access to diversity of cowpea, sorghum, pearl millet, and yam in Mali

Grant No
GS11013
Project Description
This project involved the collection of diversity in geographical gaps. These accessions were characterised morphologically and genotyped when possible. Field days were organised to allow farmers to analyse and access the plants. The accessions are secured in genebanks outside the country, and the generated information was made publicly available.
