Overview of pigeonpea research in Myanmar
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.)
Millsp.) is the third most important pulse in
Myanmar. Aberrant weather and climatic
abnormalities significantly reduced the crop
productivity in present-day rain-fed
agriculture. Adoption of ...
Soil and water management
Soil and water form the basis of all terrestrial life. Their resources vary widely and are affected by natural and anthropogenic
perturbations. Ancient civilizations and cultures emerged and sustained on good soils; and ...
Identification of two major quantitative trait locus for fresh seed dormancy using the diversity arrays technology and diversity arrays technology-seq based genetic map in Spanish-type peanuts
Seed quality for both germination in the next generation and for human
consumption is adversely affected due to preharvest sprouting in peanut.
It also makes seeds more vulnerable to infection by a number of pathogens.
Therefore, ...
Conservation agriculture for improving water productivity in Vertisols of semi-arid tropics
Large variability and uncertainty of rainfall are the
main limiting factors for crop growth in rainfed agriculture.
Agriculture water management interventions
are considered as suitable adoption strategy to enhance
crop ...
Host plant resistance to insect pests in pigeonpea: Potential and limitations
Host plant resistance to insects is one of the components of pest management in pigeonpea. Considerable progress has been made in developing techniques to screen for resistance to Helicoverpa armigera. However, some of ...
Effective use of water and increased dry matter partitioned to grain contribute to yield of common bean improved for drought resistance
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume in the diet of poor people in the tropics. Drought causes severe yield loss in this crop. Identification of traits associated with drought resistance ...
Effects of conservation agriculture on crop productivity and water-use efficiency under an irrigated pigeonpea – wheat cropping system in the western Indo-Gangetic Plains
In search of a suitable resource conservation technology under pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) system in the Indo-Gangetic Plains, the effects of conservation agriculture (CA) on crop productivity ...
