摘要

Burkina Faso is one of the least developed countries in the world,and is located on the edge of the desert.Drought and water shortage,backward agricultural infrastructure,lacking of water conservancy and irrigation facilities have caused a great threat to the country’s food security.Promoting the cultivation of hybrid foxtail millet in Burkina Faso can well achieve the"going out"of Chinese agriculture and assist in the completion of agricultural assistance to Burkina Faso after the resumption of diplomatic relations with Burkina Faso.In 2019,Zhangjiakou City Academy of Agricultural Sciences cooperated with CGCOC Agriculture Co.,Ltd.to plant hybrid foxtail millet in Burkina Faso,selected three pearl millet varieties that are better promoted locally as control varieties,and found that planting Zhangzagu No.8,No.16 and No.18 with a density of 667000 plant/hm^2(plant spacing 0.12 m×0.25 m,2 plants per hole)and a fertilization amount of 0.3 t/hm2 and sowing in late July are suitable for production management technical regulations of hybrid foxtail millet in Burkina Faso.Because hybrid foxtail millet is superior to local pearl millet in terms of yield,resistance to powdery mildew,and its lodging resistance,it has good prospects for promotion in Burkina Faso.
