Objectifs du projet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le projet vise \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper des vari\u00e9t\u00e9s s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9es et \u00e0 valeur ajout\u00e9e de ni\u00e9b\u00e9\/igname nutritives ainsi que leurs techniques de culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00e9sultats attendus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. D\u00e9veloppement de lign\u00e9es d'am\u00e9lioration tol\u00e9rantes \u00e0 la faible fertilit\u00e9 des sols avec une teneur \u00e9lev\u00e9e en mati\u00e8re s\u00e8che et\/ou en carot\u00e9no\u00efdes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Utilisation de bact\u00e9ries favorisant la croissance des plantes isol\u00e9es de l'igname pour am\u00e9liorer la productivit\u00e9 de l'igname.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. D\u00e9veloppement de vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de ni\u00e9b\u00e9 \u00e0 haute teneur en prot\u00e9ines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. S\u00e9lection de vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de ni\u00e9b\u00e9 \u00e0 haute teneur en composants fonctionnels (par exemple, haute teneur en prot\u00e9ines, inhibiteurs de l'ECA, polyph\u00e9nols, acide folique).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Mise au point de nouveaux mat\u00e9riels de s\u00e9lection pour le ni\u00e9b\u00e9 enrichi en nutriments par croisement avec des vari\u00e9t\u00e9s recommand\u00e9es en Afrique de l'Ouest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Mise en place d'un programme d'am\u00e9lioration nutritionnelle par criblage nutritionnel pour le projet ni\u00e9b\u00e9.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
