Evaluation of Plant Growth Promoting Actinomycetes on Vigna
The legume genus Vigna are grown in warm temperate and tropical regions globally but are particularly crucial to human nutrition in
large parts of tropical Africa and Asia. It can also serve as forage crops. Among the Vigna ...
Screening wild vigna species and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) landraces for sources of resistance to striga gesnerioides
This chapter presents the results of a study conducted on the experimental field of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Minjibir, Kano State, Nigeria, during the planting seasons of 2012 and 2013 ...
Global Resources of Genetic Diversity in Peanut
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an annual herb, with geocarpic fruits, and an indeterminate growth habit. It is classified
as a legume in the plant family Fabaceae. Carl Linneaus first described the cultivated ...
Formulation and Commercialization of Rhizobia: Asian Scenario
The symbiotic agreement of rhizobia with leguminous plants is making a valuable
contribution to agriculture primarily as nitrogen fi xers and secondarily as
plant growth promoters by their key role as phosphate solubilizers, ...
Annotation of Trait Loci on Integrated Genetic Maps of Arachis Species
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is second, behind soybean, in the world’s legume oilseed market. In 2012, global
production was 41.2metric tons from an area of 24.7million hectares (FAOSTAT, 2014). Yield of peanut ...
Role of public-private partnerships in biopesticides and biofertilizers research and development for sustaining agriculture production
PublicPrivatePartnerships
(PPPs) are important in involving private sectors for harnessing their efficient and enhanced mass
production and delivery of consumer products and services. In agriculture, the rationale for these ...
Formulations of Plant Growth- Promoting Microbes for Field Applications
Development of a plant growth-promoting (PGP) microbe needs several
steps starting with isolation of a pure culture, screening of its PGP or
antagonistic traits by means of different effi cacy bioassays performed
in vitro, ...
