Problem soils in cool season food legumes- Current knowledge and future prospects
Problem soils impose various stresses on plants and reduce crop yield significantly. As a
sizeable area under food legume crops falls under the problem soils, development of tolerant
varieties and appropriate agronomic ...
QTL mapping for late leaf spot and rust resistance using an improved genetic map and extensive phenotypic data on a recombinant inbred line population in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
The linkage map for the recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population derived from late leaf spot (LLS) and rust disease susceptible (TAG 24) and resistant (GPBD 4) varieties of peanut was improved by adding 139 new SSR ...
Leverage Government programmes, farmer communities
Develop and promote decentralized seed models to organize production and supply of quality groundnut seed of improved varieties, and conduct training programs to farmers and extension staff.
Climbing beans with acceptable color, resistances and fixing more than 50 kg/ha N tested in African production environments
Improved lines are both developed locally and received from CIAT headquarters in Colombia. Initial testing of lines has often been carried out with the national program of Rwanda, and in CIAT’s facilities within the campus ...
Development of segregating populations for heat stress tolerance in chickpea
Breeding materials for heat tolerance were at different stages of development. A total of 4 F1s, 5 F2 populations, 3 F4 populations, and 16 F5 populations were advanced to next generation in normal season 2015-16 at ...
Conduct Preliminary (49-100 entries) and Advanced (16-25 entries) trials of sorghum lines with multiple traits (Striga, midge, drought tolerance) and end-uses (food, feed and malting)
In Kenya the best performing sorghum lines IS 16545, Khalid, IS 25395, ASARECA 24-4-1 and ASARECA 15-2-1 had grain yields ranging from 2.593 to 3.33 t ha-1 and 76 to 81 days to flowering whereas in Tanzania, the best ...
