Abstract

The basic foods most commonly consumed in Congo are flour derivatives. These products are fully imported, which contributes to the cost of living. In order to reduce imports of these products, we considered adopting a local wheat crop from the five Indian varieties. In this work five varieties of wheat were tested in order to assess their adaptability in the soil climatic conditions of Brazzaville. The study of the impact of different fertilizer doses on the cultivation of wheat of the variety SO-119 with the comparison parameter size, number of leaves per stem, ears per board and yield, showed that the best results were obtained with the fertilizer dose of 90 g. This dose is followed by 60g and 120g of fertilizer. This shows that the wheat crop adaptation tests in the Congo must be done with these three doses.
