Genetic Variability of Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) for Water Logging and Salinity Tolerance under in vitro and in vivo Conditions
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) genotypes acquired from diverse sources, were screened for water logging and salinity tolerance under laboratory and field conditions. Analysis of variance revealed significant ...
Morpho-biochemical characterization of a RIL population for seed parameters and identification of candidate genes regulating seed size trait in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
The seed size and shape in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) are important quality traits as these influences the milled grain yield, cooking time, and market class of the grains. Linkage analysis was done for seed size in a ...
Influence of plant growth retardants on growth, seed yield and quality in onion (Allium cepa) cv. Pusa Riddhi
A field experiment was conducted at New Delhi during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15 to evaluate the effect of growth retardants on seed scape height, seed yield and quality attributes in onion (Allium cepa L.) cv. Pusa Riddhi.The ...
Impact of no-till and mulching on soil carbon sequestration under rice (Oryza sativa L.)-rapeseed (Brassica campestris L. var. rapeseed) cropping system in hilly agro-ecosystem of the Eastern Himalayas, India
Decline in soil organic carbon (SOC) and low biomass production in sloping uplands are of growing concern for sustainable agriculture worldwide. This concern is in general in the Eastern Himalayan regions (EHR) of India ...
Multiple Impact of Integrated Watershed Management in Low Rainfall Semi-Arid Region: A Case Study from Eastern Rajasthan, India
The agriculture in low rainfall areas of eastern Rajasthan, India is characterized by high risks from drought, degraded
natural resources and pervasive poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition. In this region, water is ...
Genotype by Environment Interaction Effect on Grain Iron and Zinc Concentration of Indian and Mediterranean Lentil Genotypes
Lentil grains with high nutritional value qualify as a promising candidate for alleviation
of micronutrient malnutrition in South Asia and North Africa. Genetic variation for micronutrient
concentration in germplasm is ...
Evaluation of Advanced Potato Clones for Drought Tolerance in Arid Zone in Rajasthan, India
Potato is a cool season crop and
requires optimum soil moisture throughout
its growing period and its productivity is
hampered to a great extent in absence of these
favorable conditions (Cabello et al., 2013).
Exploitation ...
DEVELOPMENT OF SUPER EARLY GENOTYPES IN GREENGRAM [VIGNA RADIATA (L.)Wilczek]
Greengram [Vigna radiata (L.)Wilczek] also known as mungbean in South Asia, is an important pulse crop of the Vigna group. Among the major production constraints, terminal heat stress during summer season and pre-harvest ...
Agronomic improvements can make future cereal systems in South Asia far more productive and result in a lower environmental footprint
South Asian countries will have to double their food production by 2050 while using resources more efficiently and
minimizing environmental problems. Transformative management approaches and technology solutions will ...
Nectarivore-aided Hybridization and its Exploitation for Productivity Enhancement in Pigeonpea
A record of out-crossing in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) from 32 locations indicated a large variation within and across 12 countries of Asia, Africa, and Americas. Pigeonpea breeders have exploited the natural ...
