Sorghum [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a major subsistence crop throughout the region of Sahel. With the exception of seeds and labour, no agricultural inputs are in general used in sorghum production since the grain is of a relatively low commercial value and the risk of losing the crop to drought, flooding, etc. is substantial. A meta-analysis of 118 field experiments was carried out to identify conditions in which two protective seed treatments could support a yield increase of sorghum in Burkina Faso. The two treatments were: i) treatment with the pesticide Calthio C (thiram and chlorpyrifos) and ii) treatment with an aqueous extract from the plant clipta alba. Both treatments were found to produce a yield increase (Medians: Calthio C +199 kg ha -1 , P 40% yield increase) were found to carry a comparatively high load of the infectious ascomycetes:  Fusarium equiseti, Macrophomina phaseolina and Curvularia lunata. Key Words : Curvularia lunata, Fusarium equiseti, Macrophomina phaseolina, Sorghum bicolor

Effect of sorghum seed treatment in Burkina Faso varies with baseline crop performance and geographical location
