High yielding and drought tolerant genotypes developed through marker-assisted back crossing (MBAC) in chickpea
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second largest grown food legume crop in the
world after common bean. This crop is largely grown under rainfed conditions in Asia
and sub-Saharan Africa where terminal drought is the ...
Choice of breeding method for improving yield and yield stability in faba bean
Faba bean (Viciafaba L.) is partially allogamous crop with outcrossing rate varied from 0.3 to 0.83 with
an average of 0.5' Breeding methods applied to this crop depends on the levels of outcrossing and the
genetic basis ...
Spatial big data analytics for sustainable intensification of pulse crops in South Asia
Sustainable intensification has become a foremost goal of agricultural research and development in the
recent years. The mono-crop based production systems in South Asia retains nearly 30 percent of
cultivated area left ...
Effect of foliar applications of micronutrient and methanol on seed yield of soybean
The foliar application of micronutrients and organic solvents at critical stages of the crop will be effectively absorbed by the sources and translocated to the developing sinks, producing more number of pods and better ...
Screening of groundnut interspecific derivatives for resistance to Sclerotium rolfsii
Sclerotium rolfsii is a major constraint for production in most of the groundnut growing areas in India
inflicting 28-30 per cent yield losses annually. Irrigated groundnut grown in the post-rainy and summer
seasons in ...
Yield loss Modeling for late Leafspot and Rust in Groundnut
Late leaf spot and rust diseases occur together and cause considerable yield loss in groundnut.
Cultivation of resistant varieties is the best strategy to stabilize productivity under disease epidemics.
Several varieties ...
Pre-empting aflatoxin contamination in legume and cereal farming systems in Northern Nigeria: Case study of the groundnut value chain
The current emphasis by the government of Nigeria on boosting . agricultural productivity requires actors of the agricultural sector to develop sustainable agro-allied technologies that could enhance the quality of ...
Hybrid pigeonpea: Research to reality
Cytoplasmic and genetic male sterility based hybrids in field crops led to tremendous increase in productivity by exploiting the genetic
principles of heterosis. Pigeonpea is an oftencross
pollinated important grain legume ...
Impact of pulsed electromagnetic field treatment on seed yield and quality of soybean
An exposure of seeds to pulsed electromagnetic field (PEF) before planting is known to change and stimulate a series of biochemical and biological effects in the seeds. The plants raised from such PEF treated seeds are ...
A Web-based Platform for Enhancing Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) in Research for Development - Toward Achieving Development Outcomes
Achieving efficiency in large and complex research for development programs (R4D) is a significant
challenge. In 2015, as a response to the lack of a shared monitoring and evaluation system for CGIAR
Research Programs ...
