Phenotypic variability and characteristics of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) germplasm of Ethiopia by multivariate analysis
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) is an important crop in Ethiopian highlands. Its productivity is very low
due to low yielding landraces and other factors. The objectives of this study were to classify groups of
genotypes ...
Identification of molecular markers associated with rust resistance genes in lentil (Lens culinaris sub sp. culinaris)
Lentil rust caused by Uromyces vicia- fabae (Pers.) J. Schroet is the most widespread and economically
important disease in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Morocco. The objective of this study was
to determine the ...
Can improved food legume varieties increase technical efficiency in crop production?
Faba bean (broad bean), field pea, and lentil are very important legumes in the highlands of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the largest producer of faba bean in SSA. In 2012/13, about 4.4 million small holder farmers planted 574,000 ...
Impact of improved legume varieties on technical efficiency of crop production in Ethiopia: Application of doubly-robust treatment effects model
This paper presents the impact of improved food legume varieties on technical efficiency and productivity of crop production in a farming system where mono-cropping of cereals is the norm. Data on 600 randomly selected ...
Walking on the wild side - expanding genetic diversity for future lentil breeding
Systematic use of genetic variability through judicious use of diverse germplasm maximizes genetic gain
per generation, and therefore, maximizes economic value of the crop. Sometime, however, the required
genetic variation ...
Economic impact of broomrape (Orobanche crenata) on pulse crop production in north Eastern Ethiopia. International conference on pulses, Marrakesh, Morocco, April 18-20, 2016. Abstract 166.
Broomrape (Orobanche crenata) is a parasitic weed that has become a nuisance to pulse crop production
in many parts of Ethiopia. Despite the challenges posed by the weed, there has not been any study on its
economic impact ...
Molecular diversity and population structure of the Ethiopian lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) genotype assessment using SSR markers
Knowledge of genetic diversity is essential for formulating effective germplasm collection, conservation
and utilization strategies in crop improvement programs. It also provides an opportunity to take corrective
steps ...
