Effect of integrated agronomic practices on hybrids and pure-line varieties under different environmental conditions in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh]
The field experiment was conducted at two locations during kharif 2011 and 2012 at Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi
Vidyapeeth (VNMKV), Parbhani, Maharashtra and International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid ...
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 ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a multipurpose grain/fodder crop of the semi-arid tropics, feeding many
of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people. Genetic variation among
adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it ...
Grain iron and zinc densities in released and commercial cultivars of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum)
Crop biofortification is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural strategy to reduce micronutrient malnutrition
arising from iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies. A large number of hybrids and open-pollinated varieties ...
Pigeonpea - A unique jewel in rainfed cropping systems
Pigeonpea is a crop for rainfed
environments endowed with several features
to thrive harsh climate. It adapts well in sole
crop and inter cropped conditions (with
cereals, millets, oils seeds and pulses) by
enhancing the ...
Assessment of Diversity in Commercial Hybrids of Pearl Millet in India
Availability of diverse cultivars is essential in order to meet necessity of regional adaptation to various climatic conditions and to fulfil the farmers’ need of differential preference of various phenotypic traits in ...
Genome-Enabled Prediction Models for Yield Related Traits in Chickpea
Genomic selection (GS) unlike marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) predicts breeding
values of lines using genome-wide marker profiling and allows selection of lines prior
to field-phenotyping, thereby shortening the breeding ...
Smallholder farmers involvement in seed production of pigeonpea : An assessment in Odisha, India
Smallholder pigeonpea farmers in Odisha always rely on self-saved seeds of preferred landrace with long maturity period of
7 months and exploiting this for a period of 2-4 years or more. These model of seed system continuously ...
Impact of developmental project for sustainable pigeonpea livelihood system of rural poor households of Odisha
Farmers of Odisha’s rainfed areas have poor access to quality pigeonpea materials. In 2011, the International Crops Research
Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) implemented a project ‘Introduction and Expansion ...
