Evaluation of host-plant resistance in chickpea by microbial treatment.
Three chickpea endophytes AUR-2, AUR-4 and ARR-10 were found effective against B. cinerea in vitro conditions in the previous screening. Under controlled conditions (1500 Lux light intensity, 12 h/day; 100% RH, 15±2 °C ...
Purification of secondary metabolites from 2 actinomycetes responsible for antagonistic activity against important fungal pathogens of chickpea and sorghum
In our previous study, a total of 137 actinomycetes, isolated from 25 different herbal vermi-composts, were characterized for their antagonistic potential against Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot in sorghum and ...
Climate Change vis-a-vis Pest Management
Global warming and climate change will trigger major changes in geographical distribution and population dynamics of insect pests, insect – host plant interactions, activity and abundance of natural enemies, and efficacy ...
Phenotypic differences in adaptation to combined stress of inadequate P supply and drought (BASE 80 trial)
A field trial was conducted during the dry season (May to July 2016) at Darien, Valle del Cauca-Colombia, The BASE (Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation). The BASE trial included 80 bean genotypes: 58 belong to Mesoamerican gene ...
CRP Dryland Systems - IWMI - 2015 Technical and Financial Report - Final
The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) managed to progress in 2015 in terms of researching on evidence for agricultural water management within the context of a systems approach. Water is one of the key enablers ...
Screening cowpea germplasm (cultivated and wild relatives) for aphid resistance
A total set of 376 entries including 374 mini-core accessions, 1 resistant check (TVu801) and 1 susceptible check (TVx 3236) were evaluated in screening cages at Kano and screen house at Cotonou for resistance to cowpea ...
Main-effect QTLs (M-QTLs) for Aspergillus infection and Aflatoxin Contamination
Screening of the fungal infection was performed in the controlled conditions at Tifton in 2015. QTL analysis using phenotyping and genotyping data identified ten M-QTLs for the Aspergillus infection with PVE ranging from ...

This brief summary report presents highlights and key messages from the three webinars -
Webinar 1: Plugging the rainfed gap and de-risking sustainable intensification in cereal-based systems (including legumes, forages ...
Integrated crop-rangeland-livestock management to improve system productivity and to build resilience of agro-pastoral systems in semi-arid North Kordofan in Sudan – ARC Scientists visit
ICRISAT and ARC El Obeid, Sudan under the “Increased effectiveness of agro-pastoral management, watershed management and sustainable intensification of wheat - legume systems” initiative tested a number of sorghum, pearl ...
Identification of suitable carrier material for plant growth-promoting (PGP) actinomycetes for long term storage
ICRISAT has identified 19 PGP actinomycetes, which were also demonstrated for their broad spectrum of PGP traits including biofortification, antagonistic and entomopathogenic traits on cereals such as rice, sorghum and ...
