Evidence for genotypic differences among elite lines of common bean in the ability to remobilize photosynthate to increase yield under drought
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume for human consumption. Drought stress is the major abiotic stress limitation of bean yields in smallholder farming systems worldwide. The current work ...
Evaluation early and extra-early chickpea lines for grain yield and other adaptive traits in Ethiopia
Fifteen early and extra early maturing chickpea lines including the standard checks (‘Ejere’ and ‘Minjar’) were evaluated for earliness at Debre Zeit during 2014 off season, 2014 main season, 2015 main season and 2016 ...
Commercial hybrid cultivation production promoted in at least 100,000 ha
In 2016, a quantity of 705 tons of hybrid pigeonpea seeds were produced by all the stake holders Which was sufficient to cover 140000 has of area with hybrid pigeonpea seeds. An area of 680 has is under seed production by ...
Obcordate leaf shape hybrid parental line development
Quality hybrid production is the key requisite in the commercial hybrid production. The genetically uniform parental lines and commercial hybrids are necessary in production and marketing of quality hybrid crops. Grow out ...
Groundnut Network Group – Asia (GNG–A) Workshop 2018 - Minutes
The Groundnut Network Group-Asia (GNG-A) represented by multi-disciplinary teams from CG, NARS, NGOs and private sector to strengthen the ‘crop breeding, testing and delivery pipelines’ of groundnut in Asia. The Network ...
Agronomic management options for sustaining chickpea yield under climate change scenario
The impact of future climate change on the chickpea productivity was studied using the sequence
analysis tool of DSSAT V 4.5 to simulate fallow-chickpea rotation at four locations viz Anantapur, Kurnool,
Kadapa and Prakasam ...
Geographic priorities for research and development on dryland cereals and legumes (DCL)
Maps, geography and spatial
analysis are increasingly important
for developing R&D programs,
priority setting, monitoring,
impacts assessment and reporting.
• But the community of researchers
working on this topics has ...
Pre-breeding to expand primary genepool through introgression of genes from wild Cajanus species for pigeonpea improvement
Narrow genetic base coupled with
low levels of resistance against important
biotic/abiotic stresses in cultivated
pigeonpea is the major constraint affecting
its production and productivity globally.
Wild Cajanus species ...
Strategies for pigeonpea improvement
In order to feed an ever-increasing population, it is essential to deal yieldreducing factors. Climate smart crop varieties that yield more with fewer inputs will be required to achieve the success. In this scenario pigeonpea ...
Varietal improvement for seed and maturity traits by broadening the genetic base
77 F3 progenies were studied in 2016 season and superior single plant selections with good seed traits were selected for further study in 2017 season. In super early group (which mature in less than 100 days) stabilized ...
