Ouédraogo MH, Bougma LA, Kiebré Z, Ouoba A, Traoré ND, Sawadogo N, Sawadogo M.
Okra seeds are characterised by poor emergence marked by almost systematic reseeding. Few small-scale producers use germination tests, which do not seem to be within their reach. Indeed, blotting paper is the main substrate used for okra germination tests in Burkina Faso. However, the possibility of using inexpensive sand as a substrate for ok(...)
