Evaluation of ICARDA barley germplasm for resistance to spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana) in India
Cultivation of resistant varieties is considered to be the cheapest way to combat plant diseases
particularly in developing countries where most of the barley farmers are marginal and unable to
afford costly fungicides. ...
“Faidherbia-Flux”, an open observatory for GHG balance and C stocks in a semi-arid agro-sylvo-pastoral system (Senegal)
The ecosystem services provided by agro-silvo-pastoral systems are complex to assess or model, owing to high spatial and temporal heterogeneities.
In 2018, we set up a new long-term observatory , open to collaboration, for ...
Genetic enhancement for flowering period heat tolerance in peart millet (Pennisetum glaucum L. (R.) Br.)
Pearl millet, basically a rainfed crop worldwide, is increasingly being cultivated in summer season in north western parts of India where air temperatures during flowering time often exceed 42 degree Celsius.
Genome wide association analysis for stripe rust resistance in barley seedlings and adult plant stage in India
Barley stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, PSH) occurs worldwide and is a major fungal
disease in barley in Southern Asia. In order to identify and the estimate effects of loci underlying
quantitative resistance ...
Effects of seed dressing pesticides on the spread of Faba bean necrotic yellows virus on faba bean and Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV on barley and oat
The effects of two seed-dressing pesticides in reducing the spread of aphid-transmitted Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV, genus Nanovirus, family Nanoviridae) and Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV, genus ...
The potential economic impact of guinea-race sorghum hybrids in Mali: Comparing research paradigms
Rural Malians who grow dryland crops depend on sorghum as a primary food staple. Despite steady advances in sorghum research, in this risk-prone environment, achieving major gains in national sorghum yields has posed a ...
Evaluation of exotic barley germplasm against yellow rust in India
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop in India currently being cultivated in 0.67
m ha with production of 1.6 m tonnes. The crop suffers from many foliar diseases with yellow rust
(Puccinia striiformis ...
Barley improvement programs at ICARDA to meet the global challenges
The International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) is one of the 15 CGIAR centers and has a global mandate for barley improvement, specifically for more than 19 million ha of barley grown in dry areas ...
GGE biplot model for environmental delineation and identification of resistant sources for stripe rust and spot blotch in India
Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei) and spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana) are major
biotic constraints in yield maximization in barley in India. Stripe rust is wide spread in different
agro-ecologies of India ...
Incidence of blast in exotic fingermillet germplasm grown in post-entry quarantine isolation area
The National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR) has been functioning as a nodal organization for introduction and exchange of plant genetic resources of varied agri-horticultural crops for research purposes. The ...
