Improvement of dual purpose barley for forage and straw for livestock
A total of 660 barley accessions representing land races, advanced genotypes and cultivars from different regions of the world were screened for straw traits like dry matter, Ash content, organic matter, nitrogen, crude ...
Conduct grain nutritional quality analysis of farmer preferred/released finger and pearl millets cultivars
100 varieties comprising of the farmer preferred local cultivars and improved varieties cultivated in East and Southern Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Malawi and Zimbabwe) were planted in field at the ICRISAT-Kiboko ...
Regular updating of the crossing block with new barley varieties for conducting the crossing program of winter barley for different breeding objectives
The new sources of abiotic and biotic stresses have also been identified after evaluation through collaboration with NARS for phenotyping at diverse environments. Crossing blocks (CB) of barley 480 germplasm for spring ...
Explore options for screening sorghum varieties for drought adaptation specifically for Sahelian growing conditions (sandy soils, low P)
In lysimetric system, 28 landraces and improved varieties from Burkina and Niger were assessed for response to low phosphorus and water deficit in complete randomized bloc design with 5 replications. Low phosphorus (LP) ...
Conduct Participatory variety and hybrids selection trials across target agro-ecologies in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia
In singida district, variety with tied ridges had mean grain yield of 2.017 t ha-1 compared to 1.596 t ha-1 for variety without tied ridges which was a 26% yield advantage. Varieties ASARECA 24-4-1 (1.983 t ha-1) and IESV ...
Impacts of Gender Mainstreaming Interventions on Women’s and Youth’s Empowerment in Burkina-Faso
The aim of the present research is to assess the impacts of gender mainstreaming interventions on women’s and youth’s empowerment (WE) in the Dryland systems program in the north region of Burkina Faso. Through the program, ...
Monitor virulence spectrum of pearl millet downy mildew (DM) and blast pathogen populations through on-farm surveys and disease nurseries
DM and blast severity was assessed in the farmers’ fields in Maharashtra, India to monitor the performance of different hybrids. Pearl millet downy mildew virulence nursery (PMDMVN) consisting of 70 test entries including ...
Evaluation and demonstration of elite sorghums varieties and hybrids for specific production ecologies and uses
