The objectives of this study were to review the potential of the local material-based innovation i.e. the seedball technology, at enhancing pearl millet seedlings establishment under Sahelian conditions, identify its potential constraints as well as applicability, chemically and mechanically optimize the seedball, and validate its performance under Sahelian field conditions. Seedball is a local seed pelleting techniques that aims at improving seedlings performance and to stabilize yield. First, the potential local materials such as sand, loam, wood ash, gum arabic, termite soil, charcoal as well as animal dung as the seedball components were identified and reviewed. These materials were selected based on their affordability to the local fa...
