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) ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Support the release of resilient groundnut varieties in target regions in collaboration with NARS
In collaboration with NARS prepared release proposal for ICGV 02266 a farmer preferred variety identified in Odisha for state release. ICGV 02266 is a high pod yielding, drought tolerant variety, having medium-bold kernels, ...
Develop MAGIC and biparental populations following SSD (2) Phenotyping of populations for target traits
Seed increase is in progress of 3000 F6 generation MAGIC lines derived from the crosses involving the parents, ICGV 91114, ICGV 06040, 55-437, ICGV 00440, ICGV 00308, GPBD 4, ICGV 05155 and ICGV 88145. RIL population derived ...
Conduct agronomic studies for optimization of nutrient requirements of 2-3 released chickpea varieties
Summarizing the effect of rehizobium, location and varieties on the biological and economic responses of chickpea as summarized in the Tables below is inspiring. The results indicated that chickpea yield can be improved ...
Advance breeding populations for resistance to blast, striga and drought; high nutrient content and desired traits like snapping quality and none-logging
Breeding populations at F2, F3 and F4 for the different traits were established in the field for evaluation and the selected ones advanced. At the same time new F1 populations are being made for advancing to F2 the next ...
