A recipe for success? Learning from the rapid adoption of improved chickpea varieties in Ethiopia
Many studies detail constraints deemed responsible for the limited adoption of new
technologies among smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. By contrast, here we
study the conditions that led to the remarkably fast ...
Multi-environment evaluation of pigeonpea disease nursery of 28 lines to wilt and SMD resistance
Under the ICAR-ICRISAT collaboration, during 2015-16 crop seasons, Pigeonpea Wilt and SM Disease Nursery (PWSMDN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated for wilt and SMD ...
Development of proteome library from FOC inoculated chickpea resistant and susceptible cultivars under elevated CO2 through MALDI and MS-MS analysis
Total root proteins of control and Foc infected chickpea (JG 62 and WR 315) were extracted. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) of extracted proteins was carried out using immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips. 2-DE gels were scanned ...
Train extension staff, agro dealers and farmers in GAPs, evaluation of PVS trials and selection of appropriate technologies
Short training courses for extension staff were organized to train extension staff on GAPs and evaluation of trials, these they then passed on to the farmers. During field days demonstrations were done on the best varieties, ...
Estimating the Potential Area Adoption of GLDC Crop Cultivars Released in 2018
The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) has set aspirational targets to contribute to System-Level Outcomes (SLOs) on reducing poverty, improving food and nutritional security for health ...
Adoption and impacts of improved chickpea on productivity and food security in Ethiopia
This report analyzed the impact of improved chickpea adoption on productivity and food
security in rural Ethiopia? We estimate the effect of improved chickpea adoption on
productivity with instrumental variable regression. ...
Framework for comprehensive entry points to improve livestock water productivity in forage-based livestock systems
Poster of Framework for comprehensive entry points to improve livestock water productivity in forage-based livestock systems
Evaluation plant water budget of orphan grain legume species in lysimeters and of traits related to plant water budget in the LeasyScan facility
For the first three experiments in lysimeter the genetic material consisted of 22 genotypes, 13 of lablab, horsegram, moth bean, rice bean and cowpea, which were benchmarked to 9 genotypes across mungbean, soybean, peanut ...
