Groundnut lines that combine several desirable traits into single genotype to meet the needs of the farmer, consumer and industry.
Single-seed descent, pedigree, and backcross methods of breeding are used to improve the target traits. Selection in segregating populations are enabled by (a) markers for three traits, resistance to rust and late leaf ...
Identify and promote drudgerry reducing small and medium scale sorghum production and processing mechanization technologies for use by women and youth
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate some selected planters on drudgery reduction, time required for sorghum sowing and its effect on yield parameters. Two (2) imported hands pushed planter (IHP) and two (2) locally ...
