To improve sorghum and pearl milletbased production systems in Mopti, Sikasso and Timbuktu regions of Mali through strengthened researchdevelopment partnerships for large-scale utilization of priority proven technologies. In order to achieve the above objective,the project had two sub objectives. Enhancing farmers’ knowledge of available productivity enhancing technologies. Enhancing farmers’ access to improved technologies by strengthening linkages and trust between suppliers of key inputs and the producers.

Spatial variability map of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) is crucial for nutrient management. Georeferenced samples were collected at 30 and 60cm depth on 467Ha. Kriging produced spatial distribution of SOC using Geostatistical Analyst. Best fit semivariogram models were Rational Quadratic(topsoil) and K-Bessel(subsoil). The nugget-to-sill ratio was 0.60 (topsoil) and 0.92(subsoil), indicating medium & weak spatial dependence for both depths. Two fertility management zones for SOC were delineated
