Evaluation of host-plant resistance in chickpea by microbial treatment.
Three chickpea endophytes AUR-2, AUR-4 and ARR-10 were found effective against B. cinerea in vitro conditions in the previous screening. Under controlled conditions (1500 Lux light intensity, 12 h/day; 100% RH, 15±2 °C ...
Purification of secondary metabolites from 2 actinomycetes responsible for antagonistic activity against important fungal pathogens of chickpea and sorghum
In our previous study, a total of 137 actinomycetes, isolated from 25 different herbal vermi-composts, were characterized for their antagonistic potential against Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot in sorghum and ...
Management of chickpea pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner): use of biopesticides

Climate Change vis-a-vis Pest Management
Global warming and climate change will trigger major changes in geographical distribution and population dynamics of insect pests, insect – host plant interactions, activity and abundance of natural enemies, and efficacy ...
Potential of Wild relatives in Sorghum Improvement through Molecular Approaches
Wild relatives of crops play a key role in the development of high performing cultivars. Of the 22 species
comprising the highly variable genus, Sorghum, only one, S. bicolor, is commercially cultivated for food,
feed, and ...
Screening cowpea germplasm (cultivated and wild relatives) for aphid resistance
A total set of 376 entries including 374 mini-core accessions, 1 resistant check (TVu801) and 1 susceptible check (TVx 3236) were evaluated in screening cages at Kano and screen house at Cotonou for resistance to cowpea ...
