Testing the GLDC scaling framework: Design, Performance, and Gaps
Accelerating the adoption of new technology – improved varieties and management practices – by smallholders remains a challenge for agricultural research and extension systems, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The ...
Utilization of actinomycetes having broad-spectrum of plant growth promoting and biocontrol traits in chickpea, sorghum and rice
Plant pathogens such as Sclerotium rolfsii (causes collar rot), Fusarium oxysporum (causes wilt) and Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot/dry root rot) have a broad host range, affecting several agriculturally ...
Factors affecting adoption of improved sorghum varieties in Tanzania under information and capital constraints
Low adoption of agricultural technology is among the main reasons for low farm
productivity and high incidence of poverty and food insecurity in sub-Saharan
countries including Tanzania. In this study, we examine the factors ...
Assessing crop model improvements through comparison of sorghum (sorghum bicolor L. moench) simulation models: A case study of West African varieties
Better defining niches for the photoperiod sensitive sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) varieties ofWest Africa into the local cropping system might help to improve the resilience of food production in theregion. In ...
Ex-ante nutrition security impacts of Research and Technology Options for Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
In this report, GLDC technologies were assessed and ranked based on their potential impact on nutrition security. Key findings suggest that in west and central Africa, the technologies with the largest positive impacts on ...
Baseline values for GLDC crops in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia
Datasets to update baseline values in the International Model for the Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) for GLDC crops in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia
Association mapping of germinability and seedling vigor in sorghum under controlled low-temperature conditions
Sorghum is one of the world’s most important food, feed, and fiber crops as well as a potential feedstock
for lignocellulosic bioenergy. Early-season planting extends sorghum’s growing season and increases yield in
temperate ...
Develop and optimize quick crop protocols for sorghum and pearl millet & Rancidity in pearl millet
Trip report of Dr Pooja Bhatnagar to Corteva HQ (agricultural division of DowDuPont) in Johnston in the United states.
CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals Agri-Food Systems: Demand-Driven Innovation for Drylands
This presentation is an Overview on the CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals Agri-Food Systems (GLDC).
Influence of Maternal Season on Field Establishment of Sorghum Varieties Grown in Zimbabwe
Maternal season defined, as the prevailing environmental conditions during crop growth has been
known to influence not only grain yield but also seed quality. A laboratory and field experiment were
conducted in October ...
