Soyabean response to rhizobium inoculation across sub-Saharan Africa: Patterns of variation and the role of promiscuity
Improving bacterial nitrogen fixation in grain legumes is central to sustainable intensification of agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. In the case of soyabean, two main approaches have been pursued: first, promiscuous ...
Work-plan 2017: Biometrics and Statistics Section
Biometrics and Statistics support will be made available in the design of experiments, data
analysis and inference, and statistical review of scientific manuscripts. Support will also be given
in statistical computing and ...

ICARDA’s Strategy for Biometrics and Statistics Support to its Research (2016-2020)
This document describes the goals and objectives of Biometrics and Statistics Section (BSS), highlights current status and the challenges in the changing agricultural landscape to sustainably support the livelihood and the ...
Evaluation de la biodisponibilité du silicium dans les sols marocains soumis à la culture de blé tendre en bour
Many studies show that silicon is a beneficial element for the growth of plants, especially cereals,
despite its non-essential element status. Hence, the reserve of bioavailable silicon in the soil can be
a limiting factor ...
Towards Appraising the Impact of Legume Research
This Impact Brief (No 44) is based on the Legumes Synthesis Report that documents the most important cases of farmers adopting new varieties, and the economic, social and environmental impacts of legume technologies developed ...
Evaluating the Productivity Potential of Chickpea, Lentil, and Faba bean under Saline Water Irrigation Systems.
The information on salinity threshold levels for food legumes when irrigating with saline water is limited and old. In a multiyear
study at two sites in the Euphrates Basin, we aimed at (i) evaluating the potential of ...
The Impact of International and National Investment in Barley Germplasm Improvement in the Developing Countries
Barley grain is used for animal feed, malt and food for human consumption. Archaeological evidence shows that barley was used in human food several thousand years ago (Bhatty, 1992). Although replaced by wheat and rice in ...
Economic Impact of International and National Lentil Improvement Research in Developing Countries
Lentils, one of humanity’s oldest food crops, originated in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East (Webb and Hawtin, 1981). As a food, lentils provide valuable protein and, unlike several other food legumes, few anti-nutritional ...
Identification of desirable mutants in quantitative traits of lentil at early (M2) generation
Aim: Narrow genetic base and limited genetic diversity are the major research constraints that affect efficacy of class breeding methods in lentil. In order to circumvent these conditions, mutation breeding techniques were ...
