Soyabean response to rhizobium inoculation across sub-Saharan Africa: Patterns of variation and the role of promiscuity
Improving bacterial nitrogen fixation in grain legumes is central to sustainable intensification of agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. In the case of soyabean, two main approaches have been pursued: first, promiscuous ...
Conduct adaptive trials in target sites (locations) in collaboration with NARS
Fifty-seven introgression lines (ILs) that combine early maturity with foliar fungal disease resistance were shared with six national partners, and multi-location evaluation of these ILs in disease hotspots recorded ...
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 ...
Problem soils in cool season food legumes- Current knowledge and future prospects
Problem soils impose various stresses on plants and reduce crop yield significantly. As a
sizeable area under food legume crops falls under the problem soils, development of tolerant
varieties and appropriate agronomic ...
What role for legumes in sustainable intensification? – case studies in Western Kenya and Northern Ghana for PROIntensAfrica
N2Africa was selected as a case study within the PROIntensAfrica initiative. In this case study, N2Africa focused on the potential role of legumes in sustainable intensification. The case study was conducted in two of the ...
Overview of hybrid pigeonpea seed production technology and its on-farm validation
Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is known for its high protein grains and it occupies an important place in subsistence agriculture of tropics and sub-tropics. The major constraint of the crop has been its low ...
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 ...
