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 ...
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
Orobanche resistance in faba bean and lentil
In order to identify resistance sources, 216 lentil and 194 faba bean elite lines and 280 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of a faba bean cross (BPL710 x ILB4347) were screened against Orobanche crenata in a
sick plot at ...
Narrowing the yield gap of food legumes through integrated management of parasitic weeds in the highlands of Ethiopia
The project was implemented in two districts of the Amhara region of Ethiopia. The parasitic weed (Orobanche crenata) is distributed in different districts of the Northern highlands expanding its ecological range since ...
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).
Community Seed Production of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and Lentil (Lens culinaris Medic) in Ethiopia
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medic) are the most important grain legumes
covering 21.3% of the total acreage (1.6 million ha) and 24.1% of production (23.2 millon tons) of
all pulse crops in ...
Focus traits for improvement of GLDC crops through FP4 and FP5 interventions
Focus traits for improvement of GLDC crops through FP4 and FP5 interventions.
Plot-level impacts of improved lentil varieties in Bangladesh
The advent of improved lentil varieties (ILVs) in the mid-1990s solved the disease problem which almost halted lentil production in Bangladesh. Levels of adoption of ILVs have been documented in the literature, but little ...
Ex-ante Evaluation of Research and Technology Options for Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
A panel of experts reviewing the CGIAR Research Program Proposal on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (GLDC) recommended that the participating centers set research priorities based on rigorous yield gap analyses, ex ante ...
