Combining Ascochyta blight and Botrytis grey mould resistance in chickpea through interspecific hybridization
Ascochyta blight (AB) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr. and Botrytis grey mould (BGM) caused
by Botrytis cinerea (Pers. ex Fr.) are important diseases of the aerial plant parts of chickpea in most chickpea growing
areas ...
Zeolitic soils of the Deccan basalt areas in India: their pedology and edaphology
Zeolites play an important role in modifying the chemis-try, physics and biology of soils. Here we review the status of the pedology and edaphology of the zeolitic soils of the Deccan basalt areas of India. Research has ...
Selection of Hyperspectral Narrowbands (HNBs) and Composition of Hyperspectral Twoband Vegetation Indices (HVIs) for Biophysical Characterization and Discrimination of Crop Types Using Field Re ectance and Hyperion/EO-1 Data
The overarching goal of this study was to establish
optimal hyperspectral vegetation indices (HVIs) and hyperspectral
narrowbands (HNBs) that best characterize, classify, model,
and map the world’s main agricultural crops. ...
Genetic analysis for seed size in three crosses of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Seed size (determined by 100-seed weight) is an
important component of trade and yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The present investigation was undertaken to
study the possibility of maternal inheritance for seed ...
Efforts that Brought Happiness:Stories of change from the people
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) is implementing a project
supported by Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) for the last ten years in the states of Madhya Pradesh and
Rajasthan and a ...
Moisture Stress Assessment through NDVI and Climate. Tools for Crop Managem-en t at Anantpur District, AP
Anantapur is the driest district of Andhra Pradesh and hence, agriculture conditions are very often precarious. Groundnut grows where
other crops fail and thus it is the predominant crop of Anantapur district. Groundnut ...
Balanced nutrient management: Effects on plant zinc
Participatory on-farm research on the diagnosis and
management of nutrient disorders over the last decade by
the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-
Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and its partners has established
...
Heavy metals concentration in soils under rainfed agro-ecosystems and their relationship with soil properties and management practices
Heavy metals are governed by parent material
of soils and influenced by the soil physicochemical properties
and soil and crop management practices. This paper
evaluates total heavy metal concentrations in rainfed soils
under ...
Nitrogen response and water use efficiency of sweet sorghum cultivars
Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a biofuel crop, which can be grown under tropical rainfedconditions without sacrificing food and fodder security. Three sweet sorghum cultivars (CSH 22 SS, NTJ2 and ICSV 93046) ...
Balanced and integrated nutrient management for enhanced and economic food production: case study from rainfed semi-arid tropics in India
Soil degradation in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) is mainly responsible for low crop and
water productivity. In Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan states in India, the soil analyses
of farmers’ fields revealed widespread deficiencies ...
