Impact of no-till and mulching on soil carbon sequestration under rice (Oryza sativa L.)-rapeseed (Brassica campestris L. var. rapeseed) cropping system in hilly agro-ecosystem of the Eastern Himalayas, India
Decline in soil organic carbon (SOC) and low biomass production in sloping uplands are of growing concern for sustainable agriculture worldwide. This concern is in general in the Eastern Himalayan regions (EHR) of India ...
Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits
We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection ...
Development of Lentil Cultivar with High Concentration of Iron and Zinc Midterm Technical Report
Fe and Zn analysis of new genetic materials will be carried out (apprx. 200 accessions)
New crosses will be commissioned between High and High content parents for both Fe and Zn. Primary, intermediate products will be ...
Genetic dissection of grain iron and zinc concentrations in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies are wide spread in South Asia and Africa. Biofortification of food crops is a viable means of addressing micronutrient deficiencies. Lentil is an important pulse crop that provides ...
Effect of phosphorus fertilization and microbial inoculants on yield, phosphorus use-efficiency and available phosphorus in maize (Zea mays)- wheat (Triticum aestivum) cropping system
A field experiment was conducted between 2012-14 to investigate the effect of different phosphorus levels (control-no P, 33% P, 50% P, 100% P and 100% P in 3-splits of the recommended dose of P) and microbial inoculants ...
Genetic diversity in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris)
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris) important grain legume grown in rainfed areas of Central and Eastern India. The productivity of lentil in India is low in comparison to the global average. The main reason for low ...
