Establishing a Goat Community-Based Breeding Program in Mali
Throughout history, the practices of livestock husbandry have been evolving with the aim of improving animal production to meet the changing needs and preferences of consumers. Among these practices, breeding has played a ...
A Training on Multi-Trait Selection Index and Random Genetic Analysis in Wolayta Sodo, Ethiopia
A two-day advanced training session on Multi-Trait Selection Index, and Random Genetic Analysis was conducted in Wolaita Sodo city, in Ethiopia. The training specifically targeted researchers involved in implementing sheep ...
Enhancing Capacity in Scaling Community-Based Breeding Programs for Development Partners and Communities in Different Regions of Ethiopia
Since 2009, Community-based Breeding Programs (CBBPs) have been successfully implemented in Ethiopia, resulting in significant genetic advancements for the selected traits within the program.
Modelling activities in peanut/chickpea (paper writing)
The SSM-legume model of Soltani and Sinclair (2011) was used in this study. It was used here to test the validity of Marksim-generated weather data, to assess the extent of yield reductions caused by water deficit, and ...
Repeat assessment of CSSL of peanut (introgression of AixAd into cultivated Fleur11) in Lysimeters and LeasyScan, and analysis of the multiyear data
Transpiration efficiency (TE) measurements were carried out in a lysimetric system, which has been described in many papers by the group (see Vadez et al., 2014). In short, groundnut plants were grown in 1.2-m length and ...
Heterosis in cms based hybrids of Pigeonpea [cajanus cajan (l.) Millsp.]
An investigation on heterosis in CMS based hybrids of pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan
(L.) Millsp.] was carried out during kharif 2015 at International Crops Research Institute
for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru ...
Performance of groundnut genotypes under millet based intercropping systems in Sudan Savanna of Nigeria
Spatial arrangement of crops is critical in
determining the growth and yield of lower crops in
intercropping. The productivity of two spatial
arrangements of pearl millet-groundnut intercrops was
studied in the Sudan savanna ...
Characterization and genetic potential of African pearl millet named landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The world collection of pearl millet at ICRISAT genebank includes 19,696 landraces. Passport and characterization data of 2,929 accessions belonging to 89 named landraces originating in 15 countries of Africa was used to ...
CRP-GLDC Annual Report 2021
The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) is an international consortium led by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and implemented by CGIAR, and ...
Multi-agent system for integrating ecological processes at multiple scales with human decision-making: Solutions and lessons learned from a modelling framework applied in different landscape ecosystems
Modelling socio-ecological systems, in which social and ecological systems interact each other and co-evolve, are useful for supporting decisions in managing landscape ecosystems. Inter-linking socially interactive ...
