Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1981/82
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
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 ...

Response of groundnut to plant density and phosphorous application in the Sudan savanna zone of Nigeria
Despite the recent release of several improved varieties of groundnut in Nigeria the productivities have not
increase significantly due to lack of commensurate recommendation in agronomic practices. Two groundnut
varieties ...
Release of 1 or 2 stable soybean varieties in each region
Twelve genotypes were planted at two sites in Malawi, Dowa and Nkotakota, under zero phosphorus application and at 24 kg/ha phosphorus application. Due to the severe drought, trials at Nkotakota were written off. The results ...
Community-Based Breeding Program is an attractive option for genetic improvement of small ruminants
In small ruminants, centralized breeding schemes, entirely managed and controlled by governments – with minimal, if any, participation by farmers – were developed and implemented in many developing countries. Such programs ...
Can African smallholders farm themselves out of poverty?
A great deal of research on agriculture in Africa is organised around the premise that intensification can take smallholder farmers out of poverty. The emphasis in programming often implicitly emphasizes focusing on farm ...
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.
Contribution of innovation platforms in the cowpea value chain for food security in West Africa
Adetonah, S., Locoh, J.L. & Coulibaly, O. (2016). Contribution of innovation platforms in the cowpea value chain for food security in West Africa. Poster. Pan African Grain Legumes and World Cowpea Conference: sustainable ...
Assessing the genetic diversity of 48 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes in the Guinea savanna agro-ecology of Ghana, using microsatellite-based markers
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the most important grain legume in Ghana. However, its production
is constrained by a myriad of biotic and abiotic stresses which necessitate the development and use of
superior varieties ...
