Genetic variability for mineral nutrients in lentil
The present study was conducted to analyze the concentration of 8 important mineral nutrients namely calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), and cadmium (Cd) ...
Genotype x environment interaction and stability analysis in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Genotype x environment interaction was evaluated under eight environments during lentil growing season of 2013/14 and 2014/15 for grain yield and their component characters of twenty one promising genotypes selected from ...
Biodiversity and varietal development of pulses in South Asia
South Asia (Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) is the largest producer, consumer and importer of pulses with 28% and 38% share in global production and acreage. The present ...
Impact of Front Line Demonstrations on Barley Production in Arid Zone
The study was carried out during 'rabi' seasons of 2013-14 and 2014-15 in four villages of Jodhpur districts of Rajasthan to assess the impact of front line demonstration conducted by Central Arid Zone Research Institute, ...
Livelihood analysis of lentil (Lens culinaris) farmers in Chanduali district of Uttar Pradesh
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is one of the most important pulse crops in India, which plays a major role in supplementing the income of small and marginal farmers of Chanduali district of Uttar Pradesh. One of the major ...
Adaptation of Grass Pea in South-Asia
In the framework of the R&D initiative "Grasspea production for safe human food, animal feed and sustainable rice based production system in India" implemented by ICARDA, this report highlight how improved varieties (Ratan, ...
Use of expressed sequence tag microsatellite markers for exploring genetic diversity in lentil and related wild species
Expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were used to analyse genetic diversity among three Lens species. The SSR loci amplified successfully in wild species, with 94·82% transferability in Lens ...
Microsatellite marker-based genetic diversity analysis of elite lentil lines differing in grain iron and zinc concentration
Trial comprising fifty lentil genotypes was con- ducted at three locations in India during year 2013–2014 for estimation of grain Fe and Zn concentrations and to analyze G 9 E interactions by employing the additive main ...
Heat Tolerance in Lentil under Field Conditions
In the present study, 334 lentil accessions were screened for heat tolerance under field conditions in 2011-12 and 160 accessions encounter high temperature (>35 oC) during the reproductive stage were again screened in ...
Tapping Rice Fallows to Boost Pulses Production in India
India is globally the largest consumer of pulses with millions, particularly the poor, dependent on them for food and nutrition. It is also the largest importer of pulses and faces increasing dependence on imports as pulses ...
