Field Assessment of the Mass Trapping Technique for the Control of the Chickpea Leaf Miner Liriomyza cicerina
This work evaluated the chickpea leaf miner Liriomyza cicerina mass trapping technique as an alternative to insecticide spraying. A trap density of 2000 per ha was used. Trials were conducted in Beja during 2015 and 2016 ...
Herbicide tolerance in chickpea, lentil and faba bean
Weed management in cool-season legumes (chickpea, lentil and faba bean) is difficult in the absence of effective post-emergence
herbicides, while manual weeding is expensive, and pre-emergence herbicides are effective only ...
Varietal Generation and Output
This chapter focuses on the improved cultivar generation of various crops (maize, cassava, rice, bean, potato, cowpea, wheat, soyabean, sweet potato, yam, sorghum, groundnut, banana, chickpea, pigeon pea, barley, pearl ...
Molecular Mapping of QTLs for Heat Tolerance in Chickpea
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), a cool-season legume, is increasingly affected by heat-stress at reproductive stage due to changes in global climatic conditions and cropping systems. Identifying quantitative trait loci ...
Vernalization response in chickpea is controlled by a major QTL
Wild Cicer species are known to be more responsive to vernalization (induce early flowering when exposed to low temperatures) than the cultivated chickpea. This study was aimed at molecular mapping of vernalization response ...
Genotype × Environment interactioon in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under Afghanistan environments and identification of high yielding genotypes
To meet the growing demand of food and protein of Afghan population, winter-sown chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important contributor but its productivity needs to be increased. Therefore this study was conducted to ...
Adoption of Winter-Sown Chickpea in Syria
Summary Report on winter chickpea in Syria (1992): Traditionally, in Syria, chickpea is sown in spring. Although this allows the crop to evade conditions favoring the development of Ascochyca blight, flowering and grain ...
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 ...
