Seedling and adult-plant stage resistance of a world collection of barley genotypes to stripe rust
Barley stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei (PSH) is one of the major
diseases in barley production regions worldwide. A total of 336 barley genotypes with
diverse genetic backgrounds targeted for ...
Winder Barley Program
Winter Barley Nurseries have been planted in 4 different locations in Turkey in 2015-16 crop growing season. The altitudes in locations change from 359 m asl in Sanliurfa to 1069 m asl in Konya and the coordinates change ...
Evaluate two sets of hybrids (30 hybrids developed from ESA and 25 developed from India across agroecologies in Kenya, Tanzania and Sudan
1] 46 Topcross hybrids developed from ESA OPVs and lines from WCA together with three OPV parents were evaluated as a PYT trial at Kiboko. A lattice square design with three replications was used. 2] Twenty one hybrids ...
Evaluation of ICARDA barley germplasm for resistance to spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana) in India
Cultivation of resistant varieties is considered to be the cheapest way to combat plant diseases
particularly in developing countries where most of the barley farmers are marginal and unable to
afford costly fungicides. ...
Conduct Participatory Variety Selection (PVS) trials of promising varieties across target agroecologies in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya
PVS trials were established and evaluated in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda. In Tanzania for example, six varieties advanced from HOPE 1 were evaluated in 4 districts, each district with 15 trials. All the six candidate ...
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 ...
Sorghum genotypes, microdosing and striga management to improve productivity under water management technologies in Burkina Faso
Last rainy season was the third year of the experiment. However we observed during the three seasons contrasting performance of the crop related not only to the treatments but also to the cropping environment. In fact ...
Work-plan 2017: Biometrics and Statistics Section
Biometrics and Statistics support will be made available in the design of experiments, data
analysis and inference, and statistical review of scientific manuscripts. Support will also be given
in statistical computing and ...
Report of Biometrics and Statistics Activities During 2016
Delivered biometrics and statistics support to the scientists and students on experimental
design and statistical analysis, developed computing codes and carried out data analyses,
helped in drawing inferences, suggested ...
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 ...
