Multi environment evaluation of chickpea disease nurseries (wilt, Aschochyta blight and Botrytis grey mold) to identify stable and new sources of resistance
Under the ICRISAT- ICAR collaboration, disease nurseries of wilt (ICWN), AB (IABN) and BGM (IBGMN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated at different locations (hot spots) ...
Conduct Participatory Variety Selection (PVS) trials of promising varieties across target agroecologies in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya
PVS trials were established and evaluated in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda. In Tanzania for example, six varieties advanced from HOPE 1 were evaluated in 4 districts, each district with 15 trials. All the six candidate ...
Evaluation of heat tolerant chickpea lines for grain yield and other adaptive features under optimal and stress conditions
Eighteen chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.) germplasms (with the standard and local checks) and 2 planting dates were laid on RCBD with three replication in order to be evaluated for grain yield and other adaptive traits. The ...
Conduct grain nutritional quality analysis of farmer preferred/released finger and pearl millets cultivars
100 varieties comprising of the farmer preferred local cultivars and improved varieties cultivated in East and Southern Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Malawi and Zimbabwe) were planted in field at the ICRISAT-Kiboko ...
Orobanche resistance in faba bean and lentil
In order to identify resistance sources, 216 lentil and 194 faba bean elite lines and 280 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of a faba bean cross (BPL710 x ILB4347) were screened against Orobanche crenata in a
sick plot at ...
Advanced early maturing breeding lines and MABC lines evaluated for grain yield and other adaptive traits in Ethiopia
In the subsequent tables under the MABC category, it is evident that those marker assisted tool have supported the integration and expression of gene of interests for traits like yield and drought tolerance. In each of ...
Virulence profiling of F. udum isolates to understand the current status of race/pathotypes prevalent in major pigeonpea growing areas in India
Out of 111 isolates, total 67 isolates were selected for virulence profiling based on geographical location, pathogenicity, cultural and morphological characters. The F. udum isolates represented 38 districts belonging to ...
Leverage Government programmes, farmer communities
Develop and promote decentralized seed models to organize production and supply of quality groundnut seed of improved varieties, and conduct training programs to farmers and extension staff.
Conduct Participatory variety and hybrids selection trials across target agro-ecologies in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia
In singida district, variety with tied ridges had mean grain yield of 2.017 t ha-1 compared to 1.596 t ha-1 for variety without tied ridges which was a 26% yield advantage. Varieties ASARECA 24-4-1 (1.983 t ha-1) and IESV ...
