Distribution and mating type characterization of chickpea blight (Didymella rabiei (Kov.) v. Arx) in Ethiopia
We have assessed the distribution and mating type of chickpea blight (Didymella rabiei (Kov.) v. Arx) from a total of 350 and 272 fields in major chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) growing areas of Ethiopia for two consecutive ...
Salt tolerance analysis of chickpea, faba bean and durum wheat varieties I. Chickpea and faba bean
Two varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba), differing in drought tolerance according to the classification of the International Center for Agronomic Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), were ...
Use of residual fertiliser 15N in soil for isotope dilution estimates of N2 fixation by grain legumes
Estimates of the proportion of nitrogen (N) derived from the atmosphere (pNatm) by chickpea
and lentil in the alternate phase of a cereal–legume 2-year rotation, for each of 3 seasons (1993, 1994,
and 1995) in northern ...
Photoperiod Response of Annual Wild Species and Cultivated Chickpea on Phenology, Growth, and Yield Traits
Frequent utilization of wild Cicer species in
chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) improvement
programs, as well as the regeneration of these
wild species for efficient conservation in genebanks,
is hindered due to photoperiod ...
Effect of chickpea genotypes on Liriomyza cicerina oviposition preference and insect performance
Chickpea Leaf miner, Liriomyza cicerina Rond., behavior was investigated regarding the oviposition preference and insect performance. In choice situation, the insect was able to discriminate among the presented cultivars ...
Estimation of pinnule area in chickpea leaves: an errors-in-variables approach
The pinnule area of a chickpea leaf is estimated using its pinnule length and width. A number of regression models with andwithout measurement errors in the pinnule length and width are compared. The relationship was ...
A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market-demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes ...
Response to soil salinity of two chickpea varieties differing in drought tolerance
Two chickpea varieties, differing in drought tolerance, were grown in lysimeters filled with clay, and were irrigated with waters of three different salinity levels. Under non-saline conditions, both varieties, slightly ...
Pathogen diversity and mating types of Didymella rabiei isolates collected from Morocco
Ascochyta blight (Didymella rabiei) is an economically important disease of chickpea in Morocco and other parts of the world. Knowledge about pathogen diversity and their aggressiveness in the Moroccan D. rabiei population ...
Wilt/root rot diseases of chickpea in Ethiopia
Research work on wilt/root rot diseases of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Ethiopia is reviewed. The five important wilt/root rot diseases in Ethiopia are wilt, dry root rot, wet root rot, black root rot and collar rot, ...
