Mitigating Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut through A Combination of Genetic Resistance and Post-Harvest Management Practices
Aflatoxin is considered a “hidden poison” due to its slow and adverse effect on various biological pathways in humans, particularly among children, in whom it leads to delayed development, stunted growth, liver damage, and ...
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 ...
Pest Management in Grain Legumes: Potential and Limitations
Grain legumes such as chickpea, pigeonpea, cowpea, field pea , lentil, ,
and Phaseolus beans are the principal source of dietary protein among vegetarians,
and are an integral part of daily diet in several forms worldwide. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Evaluate AICRP-chickpea lines to wilt and dry root rot in chickpea
Total 50 National nursery, 20 AVT lines were screened for their resistance to wilt in wilt sick plot at ICRISAT and 80 lines for dry root rot using paper towel technique. Per cent wilt incidence was recorded at seedling, ...
