Groundnut lines that combine several desirable traits into single genotype to meet the needs of the farmer, consumer and industry.
Single-seed descent, pedigree, and backcross methods of breeding are used to improve the target traits. Selection in segregating populations are enabled by (a) markers for three traits, resistance to rust and late leaf ...
Identify and promote drudgerry reducing small and medium scale sorghum production and processing mechanization technologies for use by women and youth
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate some selected planters on drudgery reduction, time required for sorghum sowing and its effect on yield parameters. Two (2) imported hands pushed planter (IHP) and two (2) locally ...
Narrative experimental releases of parasitoids Benin and Burkina Faso
In Benin, we released some 60’100 adult parasitic wasp (30’300 Therophilus javanus and 29’800 Phanerotoma syleptae) which work in synergy by having two different modes of action, one being an ovo-larval parasitoid, and the ...
Virulence profiling of F. udum isolates to understand the current status of race/pathotypes prevalent in major pigeonpea growing areas in India
Out of 111 isolates, total 67 isolates were selected for virulence profiling based on geographical location, pathogenicity, cultural and morphological characters. The F. udum isolates represented 38 districts belonging to ...
Impacts of Gender Mainstreaming Interventions on Women’s and Youth’s Empowerment in Burkina-Faso
The aim of the present research is to assess the impacts of gender mainstreaming interventions on women’s and youth’s empowerment (WE) in the Dryland systems program in the north region of Burkina Faso. Through the program, ...
Quantification of Foc colonization through qPCR in resistant and susceptible cultivars grown under elevated CO2
The chickpea seedlings of susceptible cv. JG 62 and resistant cv. WR 315 were grown in open top chambers at different CO2 concentrations [ambient (~380 ppm) and elevated ( 550 ppm and 700 ppm). Seven day old seedlings were ...
Development of segregating populations for heat stress tolerance in chickpea
Breeding materials for heat tolerance were at different stages of development. A total of 4 F1s, 5 F2 populations, 3 F4 populations, and 16 F5 populations were advanced to next generation in normal season 2015-16 at ...
Ex-post analysis of the impacts of improved cassava varieties on smallholder livelihoods in Sierra Leone
The study was conducted to assess the impact of improved cassava varieties and associated agronomic technologies in reducing poverty in Sierra Leone. The study has provided insight into an understanding of (i) the ...
Technical Report on classical and molecular approaches in wheat breeding. 2017 May, Morocco
The objective of this training course it to increase working collaboration with NARS for more efficiency in wheat varietal development, release and promotion.
Restoration of Degraded Lands in Mali: a review on lessons learnt and opportunities for scaling
The rapid growing population and the need of economic development is leading to a number of environmental issues, notably forest and degradation of land, resource depletion (water, mineral, forest), environmental degradation, ...
