Economic performance of community based bean seed production and marketing in the central rift valley of Ethiopia
This study assesses the profitability of the community based seed multiplication and marketing enterprises (CBSME) model as an enterprise for seed production and analyses factors that influence farmers’ decisions to participate in it as seed producers or buyers of seed.
Response of Irrigated Groundnut to Polythene Mulching on Broad Bed and Furrows during the Low Temperature Months in Nigeria
This article presents the results of field experiments conducted to evaluate the response of selected groundnut varieties to Polythene Mulching (PM) on Broad Bed and Furrows (BBF) in the Sudan Savanna of Nigeria.
Evaluation of Different Fertilizer Sources for the Management of Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in the Southern Guinea savannah Agro-Ecological Zone of Nigeria
This study presents the results of field experiments conducted in Nigeria to evaluate how combinations of Farmyard Manure (FYM), Gypsum, Single superphosphate (SSP) and NPK fertilizers affected yield and aflatoxin contamination.
Variability and Correlations among Groundnut Populations for Early Leaf Spot, Pod Yield, and Agronomic Traits
This article presents the results of a study of the genetic variability and correlation of early leaf spot (ELS) resistance parameters and agro-morphological traits in groundnut.
Breeding tropical legume crops for resilient cropping systems in Sub-Saharan Africa
This poster abstract summarizes the achievements of CGIAR centers and national research partners, who have with the support of the Tropical Legumes project enhanced legume crop production in Sub-Saharan Africa through the use of genetic technology.
Legume breeding and seed systems for improved livelihoods and impact
This abstract summarises the aims and achievements of the Tropical Legumes project with national breeding programs to develop improved groundnut varieties by identifying sources of resistance, developing populations, evaluating in target environments, and releasing improved farmer-preferred varieties for production.
Advances in groundnut breeding for drought prone West and Central Africa
This poster abstract summarizes ICRISAT’s work through the Tropical Legumes project with national breeding programs to develop improved groundnut varieties by identifying sources of resistance, developing populations, evaluating in target environments, and releasing improved farmer-preferred varieties for production.
SSR markers associated to early leaf spot disease resistance through selective genotyping and single marker analysis in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
This study presents the results of crossing an ELS-susceptible genotype with an ELS-resistant genotype to carry out market-trait association analysis for groundnut
Voices & Lessons from Field: Tropical Legumes III
Large presentation featuring highlights and stories from the first two years of TLIII. Effective also as a stand-alone publication.
Designing effective groundnut breeding strategies through farmer-breeder interactions in northern Nigeria
This study presents the results of a groundnut participatory varietal selection exercise in northern Nigeria, which revealed that resistance to pests and diseases, early maturity, pod yield, oil yield, haulm yield, pod and kernel features, and drought tolerance are the most important groundnut traits for farmers.
