Virulence profiling of F. udum isolates to understand the current status of race/pathotypes prevalent in major pigeonpea growing areas in India
Out of 111 isolates, total 67 isolates were selected for virulence profiling based on geographical location, pathogenicity, cultural and morphological characters. The F. udum isolates represented 38 districts belonging to ...
Response of groundnut to plant density and phosphorous application in the Sudan savanna zone of Nigeria
Despite the recent release of several improved varieties of groundnut in Nigeria the productivities have not
increase significantly due to lack of commensurate recommendation in agronomic practices. Two groundnut
varieties ...
Can African smallholders farm themselves out of poverty?
A great deal of research on agriculture in Africa is organised around the premise that intensification can take smallholder farmers out of poverty. The emphasis in programming often implicitly emphasizes focusing on farm ...
Leverage Government programmes, farmer communities
Develop and promote decentralized seed models to organize production and supply of quality groundnut seed of improved varieties, and conduct training programs to farmers and extension staff.
Support the release of resilient groundnut varieties in target regions in collaboration with NARS
In collaboration with NARS prepared release proposal for ICGV 02266 a farmer preferred variety identified in Odisha for state release. ICGV 02266 is a high pod yielding, drought tolerant variety, having medium-bold kernels, ...
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 ...
An Update on Genetic Resistance of Chickpea to Ascochyta Blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr. is an important and
