Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci of Resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Leaf Spots in a Recombinant Inbred Line Population of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) from SunOleic 97R and NC94022
Peanut is vulnerable to a range of diseases, such as Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and
leaf spots which will cause significant yield loss. The most sustainable, economical and
eco-friendly solution for managing peanut ...
Environmental Influences on Pigeonpea-Fusarium udum Interactions and Stability of Genotypes to Fusarium Wilt
Fusarium wilt (Fusarium udum Butler) is an important biotic constraint to pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) production worldwide. Breeding for fusarium wilt resistance continues to be an integral part of genetic improvement of ...
Spatiotemporal patterns of paddy rice croplands in China and India from 2000 to 2015
Due to rapid population growth and urbanization, paddy rice agriculture is experiencing substantial changes in the spatiotemporal pattern of planting areas in the two most populous countries—China and India—where food ...
Variation in drought-tolerance components and their interrelationships in the core collection of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) germplasm
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P.Beauv.) is an ancient cereal cultivated worldwide in arid and marginal
lands. It is an ideal crop for the changing climate, with high photosynthetic efficiency. A trait-based selection ...
Overview of hybrid pigeonpea seed production technology and its on-farm validation
Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is known for its high protein grains and it occupies an important place in subsistence agriculture of tropics and sub-tropics. The major constraint of the crop has been its low ...
Chickpea genetic resources and its utilization in India: Current status and future prospects
Chickpea is recognized as most nutritious pulse crop and
with respect to acreage, it ranks at the top among pulses in
India. Realizing the significance of plant genetic resources,
special efforts were made by the National ...
How fertile are semi-arid tropical soils?
The semiarid
tropical (SAT) regions are notably characterized by low rainfall and high temperatures, and hence low natural primary
productivity and soil fertility. However, to adequately respond to the title of our article ...
Response of groundnut to plant density and phosphorous application in the Sudan savanna zone of Nigeria
Despite the recent release of several improved varieties of groundnut in Nigeria the productivities have not
increase significantly due to lack of commensurate recommendation in agronomic practices. Two groundnut
varieties ...
Evaluation of CropSyst Model for Simulating Green Area Index, Soil Water and Yield of Psyllium in Hyper Arid Partially Irrigated Zone of Rajasthan
Cropping systems model (CropSyst) was calibrated using the experimental data
of crop parameters, soil profile data and observed daily weather data of experimental
site for 2012-13 and validated the experimental data of ...
Impact of Front Line Demonstrations on Barley Production in Arid Zone
The study was carried out during 'rabi' seasons of 2013-14 and 2014-15 in four villages of Jodhpur districts of Rajasthan to assess the impact of front line demonstration conducted by Central Arid Zone Research Institute, ...
