GIS-Based multi-criteria land suitability mapping for scaling faba bean varieties in Ethiopia
Successful scaling of agricultural technology requires a spatial explicit framework for targeting the right variety at the right place. This entails a multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) approach, using a set of determining ...
2019 Technical Report - Genetic Improvement in Potato and Swetpotato
2019 Technical Report
Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits
We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection ...
Land Suitability Mapping for Production of Chickpea, Faba Bean and Malt Barley Varieties in Ethiopia
Ethiopia's agriculture has been facing recurrent challenges and the country remains food insecure due to its ever-increasing population and chronically low agricultural productivity despite its high biophysical potential. ...
Advancement report Season 2019-2020 : Dissemination of Interspecific ICARDA Varieties and Elites through Participatory Research
During the season 2019-2020, DIIVA trials of durum wheat, barley and lentil were planted across stations at: Marchouch, Annoceur, Sidi El Aidi, Tessaout and Jemaa Shaim. Same set of durum wheat and lentil was also planted ...
Yield gaps, adoption and seed commercial behaviour: Implications for chickpea seed system in Ethiopia
The paper presents the yield gaps, adoption of improved varieties and the commercial behaviour in seed of smallholder chickpea producers based on the primary data collected from 612 randomly selected farmers covering 36 ...
Sustaining Farming Systems for Food Security and Economic Growth in Ethiopia
Farmer, industry and consumer preferred chickpea varieties identified and disseminated in 105 districts of Amhara, Oromia, SNNRP and Tigray regions. About 19 SPCs, 5 MPCs and 5 unions with membership of 11,024 (13.8% female) ...
Quantifying Yield Potential and Yield Gaps of Faba Bean in Ethiopia
Ethiopia is one of the major faba bean growing countries in the world but with a low average national yield (≤ 2 t ha-1) compared to yield levels in other countries. The objective of this study was to determine potential ...
Impact Assessment of Chickpea Research and Development in Ethiopia
The climatic conditions in Ethiopia make it very suitable for growing chickpeas. Chickpea is widely grown across the highlands and semi-arid regions of Ethiopia and serves as a multi-purpose crop. The country is also ...
