Role of crop competition in managing weeds in rice, wheat, and maize in India: A review
In India, the three staple food crops viz., rice, wheat, and maize, contribute more than four-fifths of the
total food grain production. Among the several factors limiting their productivity, weeds account for
about 40%. ...
Proline content as a stress indicator to quantify conservation agriculture effect in wheat crop
The field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of tillage, crop residue retention and crop rotationon proline concentration in flag leaves of wheat as an important factor influencing future grain quality and yield ...
Marker-assisted improvement of grain protein content and grain weight in Indian bread wheat
The leading Indian wheat cultivar
‘HUW234’ produces grain with relatively low protein
content (GPC) and thousand grain weight (TGW).
Therefore, marker-assisted backcrossing was used to
improve these two important traits ...
Adaptation and Stability Analysis of ICARDA Durum Wheat Elites across 18 Countries
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is the 10th most important crop in the world, and its cultivation occurs on a vast array of international agroenvironments. However, its wide international adaptation is only marginally ...
Hulless barley as a promising source to improve the nutritional quality of wheat products
In this study, efforts were made to utilize hulless barley (variety BHS352) to enhance the nutritive value of chapatti and biscuit made from wheat flour. Barley flour was added to wheat flour in different ratios (5 to 30%). ...
Genome-wide association analysis of Mexican bread wheat landraces for resistance to yellow and stem rust
Deploying under-utilized landraces in wheat breeding has been advocated to accelerate
genetic gains in current era of genomics assisted breeding. Mexican bread wheat landraces
(Creole wheats) represent an important resource ...
Quantitative trait loci from identification to exploitation for crop improvement
Rapid advances in the fields of genetics and genomics after the discovery of Mendel’s laws of inheritance have led to map many genes/QTL controlling qualitative and quantitative traits in plant species. Mapping of genomic ...
Soil organic carbon changes after seven years of conservation agriculture in a rice–wheat system of the eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains
Sequestration of soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important strategy to improve soil quality and to mitigate climate change. To investigate changes in SOC under conservation agriculture (CA), we measured SOC concentrations ...
Relative Yield, Profit and Water Productivity of Crops in IGNP Stage-I
The choice of an appropriate crop and cropping systems is essential for achieving
higher yield, profit and resource use efficiencies. Yield, returns and water productivity
are important factors for determining suitability ...
