Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1982/83
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
Intercontinental Networks Between Africa and Asia Across the Indian Ocean: What Do Village Chickens Reveal?
The prehistory of the Indian Ocean world can be likened to a complex historical jigsaw puzzle, and has attracted deep interest from various dis- ciplines (Chaudhuri 1985; Pearson 2011). The objective has been to find and ...
Evaluation of heat tolerant chickpea lines for grain yield and other adaptive features under optimal and stress conditions
Eighteen chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.) germplasms (with the standard and local checks) and 2 planting dates were laid on RCBD with three replication in order to be evaluated for grain yield and other adaptive traits. The ...
Virulence profiling of F. udum isolates to understand the current status of race/pathotypes prevalent in major pigeonpea growing areas in India
Out of 111 isolates, total 67 isolates were selected for virulence profiling based on geographical location, pathogenicity, cultural and morphological characters. The F. udum isolates represented 38 districts belonging to ...
Response of groundnut to plant density and phosphorous application in the Sudan savanna zone of Nigeria
Despite the recent release of several improved varieties of groundnut in Nigeria the productivities have not
increase significantly due to lack of commensurate recommendation in agronomic practices. Two groundnut
varieties ...
Leverage Government programmes, farmer communities
Develop and promote decentralized seed models to organize production and supply of quality groundnut seed of improved varieties, and conduct training programs to farmers and extension staff.
Support the release of resilient groundnut varieties in target regions in collaboration with NARS
In collaboration with NARS prepared release proposal for ICGV 02266 a farmer preferred variety identified in Odisha for state release. ICGV 02266 is a high pod yielding, drought tolerant variety, having medium-bold kernels, ...
Dietary change in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and North Africa: historical changes and future food consumption perspectives
The objective of this brief is to provide an outlook on historical dietary changes and future trends of diets by 2050 in selected Asian, SSA, and MENA countries. The study further focuses on the anticipated importance of ...
Conduct agronomic studies for optimization of nutrient requirements of 2-3 released chickpea varieties
Summarizing the effect of rehizobium, location and varieties on the biological and economic responses of chickpea as summarized in the Tables below is inspiring. The results indicated that chickpea yield can be improved ...
Assessment of millet-groundnut intercropping systems efficiency in Jigawa and Kano states.
In this study, an intercropping experiment consisting of millet and groundnut was established at Dutse (Jigawa) and
Minjibir (Kano) to compare the efficiencies of intercropping systems. Two intercropping systems (2:2 and ...
