“…It is very little exploited by the population, and its cultivation is still practiced on small plots surrounded by farmers' huts (Sawadogo et al, 2014a). The various research works previously carried out on this Sorghum mainly concern the endogenous knowledge associated with its management (Sawadogo et al, 2014a), its genetic diversity (Nebié et al, 2012;Sawadogo et al, 2014b;Sawadogo et al, 2018), the biochemical composition of grain (Sawadogo et al, 2017;Sawadogo et al, 2020) and straw , the effect of mineral fertilizers on its grain and fodder production (Tiendrebéogo et al, 2018;Tiendrebéogo et al, 2020), its genetic relationships with other cultivated Sorghum (Sawadogo et al, 2022a;Sawadogo et al, 2022b;Tiendrebéogo et al, 2022) and photoperiodism of genotypes (Tondé et al, 2023a). However, many challenges still remain to be addressed regarding this neglected crop, in particular, its response to the contrasting Sahelian climatic conditions where droughts occur more and more (Tondé et al, 2023b).…”
