Narrowing the skill and knowledge gaps of young researchers on pest surveillances, diagnostics and integrated pest and disease management on wheat and food legumes in East Africa and CWANA regions
Many young researchers working in plant protections lacks skills and knowledge on pest and disease
surveillances, identification, disease/pest measurements, pest and disease dynamics, Integrated Pest and
Disease Management ...
Using accurate detection tools to develop a successful management strategy for lentil and chickpea viruses in farmers' fields in the highlands of Ethiopia
Since 2019, farmers in the highlands of Ethiopia are losing their chickpea and lentil crops because of virus epidemics, and lentil production area in Ethiopia was reduced due to the virus infection. Based on FAOSTAT, lentil ...
Breeding faba bean for resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (Didymella fabae Jellis and Punithalingam)
is one of the most important foliar diseases that
affect the quality and seed yield of faba bean (Vicia faba
L.) worldwide. Breeding for resistance to Ascochyta
blight ...
Registration of 'Teji', a Kabuli Chickpea
The chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivar ‘Teji’ (Reg. No. CV-277,
PI 643437) was developed by the International Center for Agricultural
Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo, Syria. It was
released for general ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
Walking on the wild side - expanding genetic diversity for future lentil breeding
Systematic use of genetic variability through judicious use of diverse germplasm maximizes genetic gain
per generation, and therefore, maximizes economic value of the crop. Sometime, however, the required
genetic variation ...
Multi-location testing of a global collection of elite chickpea genotypes to identify stable sources of resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. is the most devastating disease that limits the productivity and production of chickpea in the world. The lack of high levels ...
Improving skills of farmers and development agents on integrated pest and disease management on food legumes in Ethiopia and Lebanon
Summer and winter crops (cereals, vegetables and food legumes) are suffering from attacks of insect
pests, parasitic weeds and diseases in Ethiopia and Lebanon. The damage is both in quality (Figure 1)
and quantity affecting ...
