Improving breeding efficiency through application of appropriate experimental designs and analysis models: A case of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) yield trials
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) is an important staple pulse and rich source of protein, especially to the economically resource-poor consumers of the developing world. Experimental and analytic technology ...
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 ...
Experimental Designs for Precision in Phenotyping
Precision phenotyping is the evaluation of a genotype’s expression in a
given environment with minimum influence of experimental error. This
chapter presents the basic principles of experimental designs and lists
commonly ...
New faba bean germplasm with multiple resistance to Ascochyta blight, Chocolate spot and rust diseases
Faba bean is one of the oldest crops originated in Fertile Crescent and distributed around the world and produced under different agro climatic conditions. It mainly cultivated in high rainfall and irrigated areas favoring ...
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 ...
A Bayesian Assessment of Productivity and Risks to Achieve target Yields from Improved Chickpea and Mung Bean Varieties Using On-Farm Trials in Afghanistan
Legumes are essential to meet nutrition need of growing population in Afghanistan but have low productivity under the farmer practices. With an aim to introduce improved varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and mung ...
Potential legume alternatives to fallow and wheat monoculture for Mediterranean environments
Growing populations and intensification of land-use in West Asia and North Africa (WANA) are prompting
a need for viable alternatives to fallow and cereal mono-cropping systems common in dry areas of this region. ...
New faba bean germplasm with multiple resistances to Ascochyta blight, chocolate spot and rust diseases
Faba bean is one of the oldest crops that
originated in the Fertile Crescent and is now distributed
around the world and produced under different
agro-climatic conditions. It is mainly cultivated in
high rainfall and ...
Evaluation of faba bean accessions under diverse water regimes
Drought is a major limiting factor in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production in the
Mediterranean region, which is known for irregular water distribution and moderate
moisture level (around 500 mm rainfall). The objective ...
