Evaluation of heat tolerant chickpea lines for grain yield and other adaptive features under optimal and stress conditions
Eighteen chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.) germplasms (with the standard and local checks) and 2 planting dates were laid on RCBD with three replication in order to be evaluated for grain yield and other adaptive traits. The ...
Morphophysiological diversity of rhizobia nodulating pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.) growing in Ethiopia
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is an important protein source grown in several tropical and sub-tropical countries, and is considered a multi-purpose plant that is resistant to the conditions where drought and ...
Advanced early maturing breeding lines and MABC lines evaluated for grain yield and other adaptive traits in Ethiopia
In the subsequent tables under the MABC category, it is evident that those marker assisted tool have supported the integration and expression of gene of interests for traits like yield and drought tolerance. In each of ...
Exploration of cultural norms and practices influencing women’s participation in chickpea participatory varietal selection training activities: A case study of Ada’a and Ensaro districts, Ethiopia
In order to encourage gender equality in delivery of varietal knowledge to male and female farmers in Ada‟a and Ensaro districts of Ethiopia, chickpea breeders set a policy that each male farmer would bring along his wife ...

Monitoring Changes in the Cultivation of Pigeonpea and Groundnut in Malawi Using Time Series Satellite Imagery for Sustainable Food Systems
Malawi, in south-eastern Africa, is one of the poorest countries in the world. Food security in the country hinges on rainfed systems in which maize and sorghum are staple cereals and groundnut and pigeonpea are now major ...
Conduct agronomic studies for optimization of nutrient requirements of 2-3 released chickpea varieties
Summarizing the effect of rehizobium, location and varieties on the biological and economic responses of chickpea as summarized in the Tables below is inspiring. The results indicated that chickpea yield can be improved ...
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 ...
HOPE II Progress Report
HOPE II is a visionary project that seeks to improve the lives of smallholder farmers in the semi-arid tropics of Africa through enhanced
dryland cereals productivity and production. It operates under five objectives: (1) ...
A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market-demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes ...
