Herbicide tolerant, machine-harvestable chickpea, faba bean and lentil varieties
This product line aims at developing and making available to farmers machine harvestable and herbicide tolerant chickpea, lentil and faba bean varieties that are expected to reduce cost of cultivation through labor saving, ...
Upgrade of LeasyScan platform (load cells equipment)
In 2014 the first phase of the LeasyScan platform was put in place, consisting of the scanning technology to assess leaf canopy development features, together with a prototype of 50 load cells to measure plant transpiration ...
Innovation platforms as vehicle to strengthen stakeholders’ capacity to innovate for improved livelihoods in drylands in Asia and Sub Saharan Africa
Agriculture is the engine for poverty reduction and economic development in the developing nations. The sector employs over 50% of the population in South Asia (SA) and Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) and contributes significantly ...
Modern Approaches in Systems Analysis of Resource Poor Farming Systems with a Focus on Value Chains for Market-led Innovation: Training workshop schedule
Training workshop schedule for the project on system analysis and resource poor farming systems.
Evaluate two sets of hybrids (30 hybrids developed from ESA and 25 developed from India across agroecologies in Kenya, Tanzania and Sudan
1] 46 Topcross hybrids developed from ESA OPVs and lines from WCA together with three OPV parents were evaluated as a PYT trial at Kiboko. A lattice square design with three replications was used. 2] Twenty one hybrids ...
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 adaptive trials in target sites (locations) in collaboration with NARS
Fifty-seven introgression lines (ILs) that combine early maturity with foliar fungal disease resistance were shared with six national partners, and multi-location evaluation of these ILs in disease hotspots recorded ...
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 ...
Re-sequencing of Foc isolates representing races to understand the pathogenicity mechanism
Total 56 isolates of Foc representing different races and locations in India where chickpea is grown has been used for the re-sequencing study. Raw data was subjected to filtration and correction steps using Trimmomatic ...
Groundnut lines that combine several desirable traits into single genotype to meet the needs of the farmer, consumer and industry.
Single-seed descent, pedigree, and backcross methods of breeding are used to improve the target traits. Selection in segregating populations are enabled by (a) markers for three traits, resistance to rust and late leaf ...
