CRP Dryland Systems - ICRISAT - 2015 Technical and Financial Report - Final
The research for development efforts at DS sites in India used multi-disciplinary and systems approaches that build on the indigenous coping and adaptation strategies to achieve enhanced resilient and sustainable intensification ...
Integrated cultural management on the yield and yield traits of pigeonpea hybrids and varieties
Six pigeonpea genotypes of medium duration hybrids (ICPH 2671, ICPH 2740 and ICPH 3762) and varieties (BDN 711, BSMR 736 and Asha) were evaluated applying different integrated agronomic approaches for the various yield and ...
Multi-environment field testing to identify broad, stable resistance to sterility mosaic disease of pigeonpea
Sterility mosaic disease (SMD) caused by Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus and vectored by the eriophyid mite is a serious disease of pigeonpea in almost all pigeonpea-growing areas. Managing the disease with chemicals such ...
Soil nutrient balance, economic performance and scenarios for closing nutrient gaps in heterogeneous smallholder farm systems in south-western Burkina Faso
Sub-Saharan Africa suffers widespread nutrient mining, raising the problem of insustainable intensification. Understanding the relationship among soil nutrient balance, intensification and farm’s economic performance can ...
Post-harvest management of aflatoxin contamination in groundnut
Aflatoxin contamination in groundnut by Aspergillus section Flavi is a major pre-and post-harvest problem causing kernel-quality loss. Post-harvest aflatoxin contamination is caused initially by infestation of aflatoxigenic ...
Mitochondrial SSRs and their utility in distinguishing wild species, CMS lines and maintainer lines in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)
Analysis of the pigeonpea mitochondrial genome sequence identified 25 SSRs. Mononucleotide SSR motifs were the most abundant repeats followed by dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeats. Primer pairs could be designed for 24 ...
Inclusive research: gender and marginalized groups
Designed and presented a Module on ‘Inclusive Research: Gender and Marginalized Groups’ for a graduate course, entitled RCOD 342 Qualitative Methods, in the program of Rural Community Development at the American University ...
Manual for Computer Lab Practice on Multi-Agent System (MAS) for Simulating Coupled Community-Landscape System Dynamics
This manual includes 5 units of computer lab guidelines for practicing the development of an spatial explicit multi-agent system model for simulating coupled community-landscape dynamics with example real-world data to ...
Expression of different mechanisms of resistance to insects in groundnut under field conditions
Host plant resistance is an important component of pest management, and information on contribution of different mechanisms of resistance is important for developing cultivars with resistance to the target pests. Therfore, ...
Haploids: Constraints and opportunities in plant breeding
The discovery of haploids in higher plants led to the use of doubled haploid (DH) technology in plant breeding. This article provides the state of the art on DH technology including the induction and identification of ...
