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.
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 ...
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
Demonstrations were conducted on 1ha and 0.5ha across 190 locations within Sudano-Sahelian agro-ecological zone, each technology were planted on a 50 x 25 plot, 5 fertility type/source and 9 sorghum varieties were involved ...
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, ...
Identify best options of millet production through environment by millet genotype analysis under microdosing for improved management in farmers' field in Niger
The objectives of this activity are (1) identify site specific best bet options to improve millet productivity and productions in Niger and by the same way raise awareness of farmers to enhance adoption. (2) to identify ...
Food Legumes and Rising Temperatures: Effects, Adaptive Functional Mechanisms Specific to Reproductive Growth Stage and Strategies to Improve Heat Tolerance
Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress- a severe threat to crop production in most ...
Development of segregating populations for mechanical harvesting and herbicide tolerance
For making crosses, parents were planted on 4 m row plot with inter row distance of 60 cm. F1 seeds were space planted (25 cm between plants) in each row. F2 populations were grown on 50 m row plots, whereas F3 and F5 ...
Evaluate Introgression Lines (ILs) of chickpea cultivars JAKI 9218 and JG 16 carrying “QTL-hotspot” for drought tolerance traits at multi-locations
•Flowering time of introgression lines (ILs) was in the range of 48-56 d under both rainfed and irrigated conditions. However, the maturity time was prolonged by one week under irrigated conditions (107 d) compared to ...
