Turning the tide on pulses production in Ethiopia - Chickpea
Chickpea crop is the third most widely grown legume crop (after soybean and bean) and of
particular significance in developing countries, as providing an important source of farmer
income and nutrition to poor farmers. ...
Genetics of virulence and pathogenic diversity for Ascochyta Blight affecting Chickpea
This research was conducted to study the inheritance of virulence, mating
type distribution, pathogen diversity for Ascochyta rabiei affecting chickpea, and to
screen sub set chickpea accessions against the highly virulent ...
Pulses: an integral component of mitigation and adaptation under climate change
Modern agriculture is facing with great challenges. Growing world population will cause a "perfect storm" of food, energy and water shortages by 2050. Demand for food and energy will jump 70% and 100%, and for fresh water ...
A Bayesian analysis of data from on-farm trials in legumes in Afghanistan
On-farm demonstration (OFD) are conducted to provide a real-time comparison of the recommended technology and the farmer practice in farmer’s field, and are effective and easy way to convince the farmers on the potential ...
Current status of wilt/root rot diseases in major chickpea growing areas of Ethiopia
Wilt/root rot diseases are a major chickpea production constraint in Ethiopia causing yield losses by reducing the number of plants. To
determine the current status of disease incidence and distribution, surveys were ...
Genotypic variation in soil water use and root distribution and their implications for drought tolerance in chickpea
Chickpeas are often grown under receding soil moisture and suffer ~50% yield losses due to drought stress.
The timing of soil water use is considered critical for the efficient use of water under drought and to reduce yield ...
Seed Info No. 51
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Tapping Rice Fallows to Boost Pulses Production in India
India is globally the largest consumer of pulses with millions, particularly the poor, dependent on them for food and nutrition. It is also the largest importer of pulses and faces increasing dependence on imports as pulses ...
On-farm quality (certified) seed production by seed prodcuer cooperatives or groups
Farmers from the seed producer cooperatives or groups are identified, trained and provided with seed to produce and market the seed as a group through formal and/or informal channels and return the seed in kind. Farmers ...
Responsiveness of chickpea to climate change
Appropriate changes in the genetic options are needed to cope up with the changing climate and farming
system to ensure food security and sustainable cereal production for the ever growing populations in
developing world. ...
