On-farm quality (certified) seed production by seed prodcuer cooperatives or groups
Farmers from the seed producer cooperatives or groups are identified, trained and provided with seed to produce and market the seed as a group through formal and/or informal channels and return the seed in kind. Farmers ...
Surveys conducted to know the occurrence and distribution of diseases in chickpea and pigeonpea growing regions
For chickpea disease, a survey was conducted between November and January in four major chickpea growing states in central and southern parts of India viz. Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. For pigeonpea, survey ...
Study of expression pattern of defence genes in chickpea and pathogenicity causing genes in FOC through qPCR in resistant and susceptible cultivars grown under elevated CO2
Total RNA was extracted from root tissues of wilt infected and control chickpea seedlings of susceptible cv. JG 62 and resistant cv. WR 315 grown under ambient and elevated CO2 condition. cDNA was synthesized from total ...
Evaluation of host-plant resistance in chickpea by microbial treatment.
Three chickpea endophytes AUR-2, AUR-4 and ARR-10 were found effective against B. cinerea in vitro conditions in the previous screening. Under controlled conditions (1500 Lux light intensity, 12 h/day; 100% RH, 15±2 °C ...
Purification of secondary metabolites from 2 actinomycetes responsible for antagonistic activity against important fungal pathogens of chickpea and sorghum
In our previous study, a total of 137 actinomycetes, isolated from 25 different herbal vermi-composts, were characterized for their antagonistic potential against Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot in sorghum and ...
Screening cowpea germplasm (cultivated and wild relatives) for aphid resistance
A total set of 376 entries including 374 mini-core accessions, 1 resistant check (TVu801) and 1 susceptible check (TVx 3236) were evaluated in screening cages at Kano and screen house at Cotonou for resistance to cowpea ...
