Yield and Cost Effects of Plot-Level Wheat Seed Rates and Seed Recycling Practices in the East Gojam Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia: Application of the Dose–Response Model
Previous studies investigated the effects of seed rates and seed recycling practices on the yield and yield-related variables. However, higher yield does not always guarantee cost-efficiency. This study aimed to investigate ...
Genetic improvement of grass pea for low neurotoxin (β-ODAP) content
Grass pea is a promising crop for adaptation under climate change because of its tolerance to drought, water-logging and salinity, and being almost free from insect-pests and diseases. In spite of such virtues, global area ...
Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1982/83
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
Effect of cooking methods on protein content and neurotoxin (β-ODAP) concentration in grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) grains - Efecto de los métodos de cocción sobre el contenido de proteínas y la concentración de neurotoxinas (β-ODAP) en los granos de guisante [chícharo, arveja] (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is an important food legume crop but notorious for plant neurotoxin beta-N-Oxalyl-L-alpha, beta-diaminopropionic acid (beta-ODAP), causing neurolathyrism to human and animals. The study aimed ...
Food Legume Improvement Program 1988
The crop improvement research was done at the principal research station of ICARDA at Tel Hadya, as well as at several subsites in northern Syria (Breda, Jinderess, and Lattakia) and Lebanon (Terbol). Weather condition ...
Field synchronization of Ethiopian Highland sheep for fixed time artificial insemination: improvement of conception rate with a double injection of prostaglandin at 11 days
The study investigated, for fixed time artificially inseminated (AI) Menz ewes in field trials, the reproductive
performance of prostaglandin-based treatments simultaneously to the standard ‘P4+eCG’ protocol. A total
of ...
To combat Ethiopia’s 2010 wheat stripe rust epidemic, a fast-track crop research and rust-resistant seed distribution program not only delivered future protection to the farmers, but also brought higher yields and incomes.
Stripe (yellow) rust disease threatens wheat crops every growing season. In recent years, outbreaks have become more frequent and severe with climate change, decimating harvests and leaving smallholder farmers devastated.
Seed Info No. 26
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and communication among seed staff in the Central,
West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region. The purpose is to contribute towards the development of stronger national seed ...
Genetic diversity assessment of Ethiopian tetraploid wheat landraces and improved durum wheat varieties using microsatellites and markers linked with stem rust resistance
A set of 77 markers was used to describe the genetic diversity in a group of 58 tetraploid wheat accessions. Analysis was performed using 31 neutral SSR markers, 31 SSR/STS markers linked with reported major stem rust ...
Wheat Barley and Triticale Newsletter - RACHIS - No. 7(1-2)
The RACHIS information service has been initiated by ICARDA to meet the information needs of barley, wheat and triticale research workers in the Near East and North Africa region. RACHIS seeks to report research results ...
