Identification of drought and heat tolerant spring barley germplasm and their use in barley breeding program
Experiments were conducted for identification of drought and heat tolerant spring barley germplasm at Jemma Shaim location in Morocco with more than 2400 advanced genotypes and cultivars for their use in barley breeding ...
Identification and Training of Smallholder seed producers
Efficient farmer groups with a biases on women headed, were chosen to produce QDS or community based seed. Representatives from the groups together with other progressive farmers were then selected and trained on the ...
BCNAM drought tolerant population with CSM63E as recurrent parent
The material characterized here are progenies in BC1F3 generation. These progenies were obtained by crossing seven (7) drought-specific donor parents (IS15428; IS16044; IS16173; IS10876; IS3583; BBISS08; BBISS09) with ...
Malt barley research in India and future prospects
Malt barley improvement in India was initiated with several introductions viz. Peatland, Pedigree,
Manchuria, Odessa, Clipper, Golden Promise, Midas etc. but these varieties could not popularize due to
late maturity, low ...
On-farm seed production
In Ethiopia, the barley project is working in 21 zones and 62 district with 20 licensed and 7 non-licensed seed producer cooperatives with total membership of 3053 farmers (354 female farmers,11.6%). Small seed packs were ...
Survey and disease monitoring in focal countries
The cropping season of 2015-16 has been exceptionally dry with severe drought. During the disease survey occasionally low incidence of net blotch, spot blotch and scald was observed.
It is important to note that the ...
Novel sources of resistance to stripe rust in ICARDA barley germplasm
Stripe rust of barley (Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. Hordei) occurs worldwide and host resistance is
the most economically and environmentally appropriate option as the use of fungicides is not very common
in low ...
Alternative Hosts of Yellow Dwarf Viruses (YDVs) and Sources of Resistance in Barley in Ethiopia
Diseases are key biotic constraints facing barley production in many countries. One of the key
diseases group is yellow dwarf viruses (YDVs). Alternative hosts play an important role in the
epidemiology of YDVs. Studies ...
Assessment of genetic diversity of sorghum [sorghum bicolor (l.) Moench] germplasm in East and Central Africa
The study of genetic diversity in crops has a strong impact on plant breeding and maintenance of genetic resources. Comprehensive knowledge of the genetic biodiversity of cultivated and wild sorghum germplasm is an important ...
Evaluate selected hybrids (25-49) across agro-ecologies in Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Sudan and Uganda
In Kenya and Tanzania hybrids IESH 22023, IESH 28005, IESH 22009, IESH 214016 and IESH 214016 had the best grain yields (4.370-6.889 t/ha) and overall agronomy and were selected for on-farm testing. These hybrids had ...
