Cryptic Diversity Hidden within the Leafminer Genus Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae)
Leafminer insects of the genus Liriomyza are small flies whose larvae feed on the internal tissue of some of the most important crop plants for the human diet. Several of these pest species are highly uniform from the ...
Genetic Variation for Tolerance to Herbicide Imazethapyr in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Identification of lentil genotypes tolerant to post-emergence herbicides and incorporation of herbicide tolerance in to high yielding varieties can prove a boon for developing effective integrated weed management strategy ...
Strategies and Innovative Approaches for Food Legumes Seed Delivery in Ethiopia
Seed is the only vehicle in crop technology promotion, adoption and impact enhancement. Legumes play an important role in food and nutritional security of smallholder farmers and sustainability of farming systems in Ethiopia. ...
Influence of drought and heat stress, applied independently or in combination during seed development, on qualitative and quantitative aspects of seeds of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) genotypes, differing in drought sensitivity
Terminal droughts, along with high temperatures, are becoming more frequent to strongly influence the seed development in cool‐season pulses like lentil. In the present study, the lentil plants growing outdoors under natural ...
Bio-fortification potential of global wild annual lentil core collection
Lentil, generally known as poor man’s’ meat due to its high protein value is also a good source of dietary fiber, antioxidants and vitamins along with fast cooking characteristics. It could be used globally as a staple ...
Seed Info No. 55
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Impact of heat stress during seed filling on seed quality and seed yield in lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) genotypes
BACKGROUND: Lentil, a cool-season food legume, is highly sensitive to high temperatures, which drastically reduce biomass and seed yield. The effects of heat stress on qualitative and quantitative aspects of seeds are not ...
Is DNA fingerprinting the gold standard for estimation of adoption and impacts of improved lentil varieties?
In the early 1980s, disease susceptibility in short-season lentil landraces began to limit productivity in areas where relay cropping took place in Bangladesh. Since then, several improved high-yielding lentil varieties, ...
Survey Questionnaire for Gender-responsive Farm-household Typologies, Innovation adoptions, Impacts of Legume-based Technological Interventions on Small Holder Production and Livelihood Performance in Lentil-Chickpea Zones of North-Shewa Amhara region, Highlands of Ethiopia
The document is the survey questionnaire for gender-responsive farm-household typologies, innovation adoptions, impacts of legume-based technological Interventions on small holder production and livelihood performance in ...
Estimating the Potential Area Adoption of GLDC Crop Cultivars Released in 2018
The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) has set aspirational targets to contribute to System-Level Outcomes (SLOs) on reducing poverty, improving food and nutritional security for health ...
