Soil nutrient balance, economic performance and scenarios for closing nutrient gaps in heterogeneous smallholder farm systems in south-western Burkina Faso
Sub-Saharan Africa suffers widespread nutrient mining, raising the problem of insustainable intensification. Understanding the relationship among soil nutrient balance, intensification and farm’s economic performance can ...
Inter‐annual Declines of Terrestrial Net Primary Production and Carbon Use Efficiency: Global Patterns and Hotspots over 2000 ‐ 2014
Terrestrial net primary production (NPP) generates products of biological origin, on which much of other ecosystem services depend. The primary production provides a basis for food production, biogeochemical cycles, carbon ...
High yielding and drought tolerant genotypes developed through marker-assisted back crossing (MBAC) in chickpea
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second largest grown food legume crop in the
world after common bean. This crop is largely grown under rainfed conditions in Asia
and sub-Saharan Africa where terminal drought is the ...
Outlining a Global Research Agenda for Enabling Effective Rangeland Governance
The political marginalization of rangelands in developing countries is seen not only in national policies and politics but also in international development programming. This bias is revealed in terminology used in the ...
Screening of groundnut interspecific derivatives for resistance to Sclerotium rolfsii
Sclerotium rolfsii is a major constraint for production in most of the groundnut growing areas in India
inflicting 28-30 per cent yield losses annually. Irrigated groundnut grown in the post-rainy and summer
seasons in ...
Yield loss Modeling for late Leafspot and Rust in Groundnut
Late leaf spot and rust diseases occur together and cause considerable yield loss in groundnut.
Cultivation of resistant varieties is the best strategy to stabilize productivity under disease epidemics.
Several varieties ...
Hybrid pigeonpea: Research to reality
Cytoplasmic and genetic male sterility based hybrids in field crops led to tremendous increase in productivity by exploiting the genetic
principles of heterosis. Pigeonpea is an oftencross
pollinated important grain legume ...
Introgression Lines with Improved Resistance to Late Leaf Spot and Rust in Peanut
In an effort to simultaneously transfer and map the genomic regions governing resistance to late leaf spot (LLS) and rust in peanut, two susceptible varieties (lCGS 76 and OH 86) were crossed to two resistant synthetic ...
