QTL-seq approach identified genomic regions and diagnostic markers for rust and late leaf spot resistance in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
The results presented in this study suggest the usefulness of a QTL-seq approach for the precise and rapid identification of candidate genomic regions and the development of diagnostic markers for breeding applications. The approach was applied to identify genomic regions and diagnostic markers for rust and late leaf spot resistance in groundnut
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.
Grouping of Environments for Testing Navy Bean in Ethiopia
This article presents the results of field experiments conducted on navy bean in Ethiopia to assess line by environment interactions (LEI), determine stable genotypes, and grouping of test environments.
Prevalence and incidence of four common bean root rots in Uganda
This study attempts to ascertain the current prevalence and incidence of common bean root rot diseases in Ugandan common bean agroecologies.
Agronomic qualities of genetic pyramids of common bean developed for multiple-disease-resistance
This study assesses the agronomic qualities of advanced genetic pyramids developed from a four-way cross for multiple disease resistance in common bean.
Agronomic evaluation of cowpea cultivars developed for the West African Savannas
This study evaluated diverse cowpea genotypes developed over the past four decades in the Nigerian Sudan Savannas for their agronomic performance and to identify groups of cultivars with similar quantitative characters.
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.
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.
Welfare impacts of improved chickpea adoption: A pathway for rural development in Ethiopia?
An analysis of the impact of improved chickpea in Ethiopia using three rounds of panel data: estimating determinants of adoption; estimating impact on household income and poverty; and disaggregating results by landholding.
