Optimizing near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy to Predict Nutritional Quality of Chickpea Straw for Livestock Feeding
Multidimensional improvement programs of chickpea require screening of a large number of genotypes for straw nutritive value. The ability of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to determine the nutritive value ...
Genetic options for combating biotic stresses in cool-season food legumes
Cool-season food legumes, mainly faba bean (Vicia faba), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), field pea (Pisum sativum), lentil (Lens culinaris) and grass pea (Lathyrus sativus), are economically and ecologically important crops ...
Tapping the Economic Potential of Chickpea in Sub-Saharan Africa
Chickpea is a nutrition-rich, cropping-system friendly, climate-resilient, and low-cost
production crop. It has large economic potential in the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region, where it
currently accounts for only approximately ...
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 ...
Impact Assessment of Chickpea Research and Development in Ethiopia
The climatic conditions in Ethiopia make it very suitable for growing chickpeas. Chickpea is widely grown across the highlands and semi-arid regions of Ethiopia and serves as a multi-purpose crop. The country is also ...
