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 ...
Refine calibrations of NIRS of sorghum for stover and rgran tarits
Grain and fodder qualities are key traits for sorghum breeding in West-Africa (WA). Phenotyping of these qualities are challenging and requires high throughput technologies to tackle the number of progenies that are handled ...

Multi-environment evaluation of pigeonpea disease nursery of 28 lines to wilt and SMD resistance
Under the ICAR-ICRISAT collaboration, during 2015-16 crop seasons, Pigeonpea Wilt and SM Disease Nursery (PWSMDN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated for wilt and SMD ...
Evaluation of wide hybridization derived lines for yield and related traits
Wild relatives of pigeonpea possess desirable attributes to combat biotic stresses. The introgressed lines also serve as source for genetic enhancement for yield and related agronomical traits.
Selection from segregating population across major agroecologies
A wild cowpea relative TVnu 1158 was identified three years ago and crossed to two cultivated lines IT99K-573-1-1 and IT98K-556-6. A total of 244 F9 Recombinant Inbred lines (RILs) from TVnu 1158 x IT99K-573-1-1 were ...
Development of segregating populations for heat stress tolerance in chickpea
Breeding materials for heat tolerance were at different stages of development. A total of 4 F1s, 5 F2 populations, 3 F4 populations, and 16 F5 populations were advanced to next generation in normal season 2015-16 at ...
Molecular and morphological diversity in Phytophthora cajani isolates in India
Morphological and cultural variability of 14 isolates of Phytophthora cajani collected from major pigeonpea growing areas in India was studied on different media namely potato dextrose agar (PDA), V8 juice agar (V8JA), ...
Advances, challenges and opportunities in cool-season food legumes in dry area
Cool-season food legumes (chickpea, lentil, faba bean, field pea, and grass pea) are an integral part of subsistence farming in dry areas because these crops are a great source of nutritious food, feed, and income to small ...
