Groundnut lines that combine several desirable traits into single genotype to meet the needs of the farmer, consumer and industry.
Single-seed descent, pedigree, and backcross methods of breeding are used to improve the target traits. Selection in segregating populations are enabled by (a) markers for three traits, resistance to rust and late leaf ...
Identify and promote drudgerry reducing small and medium scale sorghum production and processing mechanization technologies for use by women and youth
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate some selected planters on drudgery reduction, time required for sorghum sowing and its effect on yield parameters. Two (2) imported hands pushed planter (IHP) and two (2) locally ...

The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) is an international consortium led by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and implemented by CGIAR, and ...
Quantification of Foc colonization through qPCR in resistant and susceptible cultivars grown under elevated CO2
The chickpea seedlings of susceptible cv. JG 62 and resistant cv. WR 315 were grown in open top chambers at different CO2 concentrations [ambient (~380 ppm) and elevated ( 550 ppm and 700 ppm). Seven day old seedlings were ...
Potential of entomopathogenic fungi as biopesticides of cassava Bemisia tabaci whitefly
Cassava-colonizing whitefly Bemisia tabaci transmit viruses causing cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). These are the greatest causes of cassava production loss in Africa. Current systems ...
Pest Risk Analysis for Tuta absoluta
Tuta absoluta is a devastating pest not only for tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) production but also for potato (Solanum tuberosum). In tomato most feeding damage is done to the leaves and stems of tomatoes. Larvae ...
