Sources of resistance in the existing breeding germplasm will be identified for incorporation in the elite cultivar/variety
In order to identify new sources of resistance to net blotch, a FIGS subset consisting of 96 barley accessions was screened with a mixture of 20-isolates of net blotch collected from different agro-climatic regions of ...
Advance breeding populations for resistance to blast, striga and drought; high nutrient content and desired traits like snapping quality and none-logging
Breeding populations at F2, F3 and F4 for the different traits were established in the field for evaluation and the selected ones advanced. At the same time new F1 populations are being made for advancing to F2 the next ...
Implementing breeding programs for high- & low-input, spring and winter barley
The breeding program was implemented in four countries viz. Lebanon (Terbol & AUB), Morocco (Rabat, Jemma Shaim, Allal Tazi), India (Amlaha) and Mexico (Toluca/ Obregon) to fulfil the objectives. More than 1800 new crosses ...
Barley for Africa and Asia - Multi-purpose barley production technologies for food, feed and fodder in the dry regions of Africa & Asia (Barley for Africa & Asia)
The decentralization budget to ICARDA provided under Dryland Cereals has been effectively utilized for establishing the State of Art malting quality laboratory at ICARDA Rabat, Morocco. This will provide an opportunity to ...
Farmer knowledge identifies a competitive bean ideotype for maize–bean intercrop systems in Rwanda
Background: Plant genotypes are rarely developed for mixed cropping systems despite the potential of these systems
to provide multiple ecosystem services. One of the most ubiquitously grown mixed cropping systems is a ...
Screening of advanced breeding materials and segregating populations for downy mildew and blast reaction
One hundred fifty four B-lines were screened against six pathotypes- Sg 139, Sg 150, Sg 200, Sg 212, Sg 298 and Sg 610 under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted in CRD with two replicates; one pot/replicate. ...
Optimizing test locations and identifying promising genotypes in ICARDA barley breeding program
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop with versatile use as animal feed, forage and
human consumption in the low rainfall situations around the world. Recently the industrial use in malting
and brewing ...
Community Action in Integrated and Market Oriented Feed-Livestock Production in Central and South Asia Project. Activities 11, 14 & 15 Report
Three small ruminant community based breeding plans were developed and
implemented. (1) meat sheep in Kyrgyzstan, (2) dairy sheep in Kyrgyzstan and (3)
Mohair goats in Tajikistan. The development procedure involved basically ...
No need to breed for enhanced colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve low-P adaptation of West African sorghums
Aims Western Africa (WA) sorghums are predominantly
cultivated under low plant available phosphorus (P)
soil conditions with a diverse population of arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) present. This study aims to
determine ...
