Genomic Tools in Groundnut Breeding Program: Status and Perspectives
Groundnut, a nutrient-rich food legume, is cultivated world over. It is valued for its
good quality cooking oil, energy and protein rich food, and nutrient-rich fodder. Globally,
groundnut improvement programs have developed ...
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 ...
TL III Progress Report
TL III is a visionary project that aims to improve the lives of smallholder farmers in the target region through enhanced grain legume
productivity and production. It operates under three pillars: (1) Developing improved ...
Modelling activities in peanut/chickpea (paper writing)
The SSM-legume model of Soltani and Sinclair (2011) was used in this study. It was used here to test the validity of Marksim-generated weather data, to assess the extent of yield reductions caused by water deficit, and ...
Repeat assessment of CSSL of peanut (introgression of AixAd into cultivated Fleur11) in Lysimeters and LeasyScan, and analysis of the multiyear data
Transpiration efficiency (TE) measurements were carried out in a lysimetric system, which has been described in many papers by the group (see Vadez et al., 2014). In short, groundnut plants were grown in 1.2-m length and ...
Heterosis in cms based hybrids of Pigeonpea [cajanus cajan (l.) Millsp.]
An investigation on heterosis in CMS based hybrids of pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan
(L.) Millsp.] was carried out during kharif 2015 at International Crops Research Institute
for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Patancheru ...
Poor farmers - poor yields: socio-economic, soil fertility and crop management indicators affecting climbing bean productivity in northern Rwanda
Climbing bean is the key staple legume crop in the highlands of East and Central Africa. We assessed the impact of interactions between soil fertility characteristics, crop management and socio-economic factors, such as ...
Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers' fields in northern Nigeria
Soybean yields could benefit from the use of improved varieties, phosphate-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants. In this study, we evaluated the results of widespread testing of promiscuous soybean varieties with four ...
Performance of groundnut genotypes under millet based intercropping systems in Sudan Savanna of Nigeria
Spatial arrangement of crops is critical in
determining the growth and yield of lower crops in
intercropping. The productivity of two spatial
arrangements of pearl millet-groundnut intercrops was
studied in the Sudan savanna ...
Characterization and genetic potential of African pearl millet named landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The world collection of pearl millet at ICRISAT genebank includes 19,696 landraces. Passport and characterization data of 2,929 accessions belonging to 89 named landraces originating in 15 countries of Africa was used to ...
