First report of root rot caused by Pythiumspp. on chickpea in South Africa
Chickpea is a relatively new crop in the NE South Africa. High incidences of plant death were observed in an experiment that was established in 2012 in Mziniti, South Africa to assess the agronomic performance of 66 elite ...
Modeling the soil-water-crop-atmosphere system to improve crop and water productivity in Stage II of Indira Gandhi Canal Command Area
The study entitled “Modelling the Soil-Water-Crop-Atmosphere System to Improve Land and Water Productivity in Stage II of IGNP” was carried out at village Amarpura (Bajju), Bikaner, Rajasthan, during 'kharif' and 'rabi' ...
Women's identity as farmers: A case study from ten households in Syria
This article presents the results of a study on women's roles and identity as farmers, as perceived by 17 women and 24 men in three Syrian villages, which was carried out between 2007 and 2009 as part of long-term, in-depth ...
QTL‐seq for rapid identification of candidate genes for 100‐seed weight and root/total plant dry weight ratio under rainfed conditions in chickpea
Terminal drought is a major constraint to chickpea productivity. Two component traits
responsible for reduction in yield under drought stress include reduction in seeds size and root
length/root density. QTL-seq approach, ...
Widening the Genetic Base of Legumes through Prebreeding
presentation on Widening the Genetic Base of Legumes through Prebreeding.
Assessment of yield gap in chick pea through improved pulse production and protection technology
The Assessment and comparison of yield gap of the demonstrations over farmers practice under IPPPT component. The demonstration was conducted in several village of Jabalpur during year 2008-2011. The average chickpea yield ...
Multi-environment QTL analyses for drought-related traits in a recombinant inbred population of chickpea (Cicer arientinum L.)
A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, comprising 181 lines derived from ILC588 × ILC3279, was evaluated in 10 environments across three locations with different moisture gradients. A drought resistance score (DRS) ...
Improving biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) capacity and productivity of kabuli chickpea (Cicer kabulinum L.) varieties by molybdenum and PSB applications
The experiment entitled “Improving biological nitrogen fixation (BNF)
capacity and productivity of kabuli chickpea (Cicer kabulinum L.) varieties by
PSB and molybdenum applications” was executed during rabi 2015-16 at ...
Dry root rot (Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler): an emerging disease of chickpea – where do we stand?
Dry root rot caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola (Macrophomina phaseolina) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is gaining importance in the changed scenario of climate when growing crop is predisposed to high temperature and ...
Improving Water Productivity in the Dry Areas of West Asia and North Africa
In the dry areas, water, not land, is the limiting factor in improving agricultural production. Maximizing water productivity, and not yield per unit of land, is therefore a better strategy for on-farm water man- agement ...
