Lentils (Lens Culinaris L.): Linking whole foods for better human health
The failure to link current agricultural production with human nutritional needs has
led to the development of unhealthy food systems, which cause both malnutrition and
chronic diseases. Malnutrition is responsible for ...
Identification of machine harvestable lentils with herbicide tolerance
Sixty-six machine harvestable lentil lines were evaluated in two separate yield trials along with three checks at two locations, Marchouch in Morocco and Terbol in Lebanon, during 2019. Based on good standing ability, ...
Lentil-Herbicide
Report on Lentil-Herbicide
Lentil-Earliness
A set of 30 extra early lines emanating from wide crosses and maturing in less than 80 days were identified and tested in winter season of 2019. These lines were not only high yielding but also early maturing even in the ...
Analysis of genetic variability and genotype × environment interactions for iron and zinc content among diverse genotypes of lentil
Deficiencies of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are major problems in developing countries especially for woman and preschool children. Biofortification of staple food crops is a sustainable approach to improve human mineral intake ...
Extra Early Varieties of Chickpea and Lentil
Participating Institutions: ICRISAT, ICARDA, NARS and ARIs
Focus crops: Chickpea and Lentil
Focus regions: South Asia and East Africa
Description:
Vast area left fallow after rice harvest in rainfed regions of ...
Lentil-Fe and Zn, Protein
The main objective of this activity was to determine the protein content and the concentrations of iron and zinc in lentil seeds. For this purpose, a set of 150 lines originating from 47 countries were planted at ICARDA ...
Variety release by NARIS partner institutions from germplasm under development originated from ICARDA in 2019
List of varieties released by NARIs partner institutions from germplasm under development originated from ICARDA in 2019
Walking on the wild side - expanding genetic diversity for future lentil breeding
Systematic use of genetic variability through judicious use of diverse germplasm maximizes genetic gain
per generation, and therefore, maximizes economic value of the crop. Sometime, however, the required
genetic variation ...
Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Symbiotic Efficiency of Selected Rhizobia Strains Nodulating Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
A total of 14 Rhizobium strains were isolated from lentil accessions grown at the ICARDA
experimental research station at Marchouch in Morocco and used for molecular characterization
and symbiotic efficiency assessment. ...
