Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) is a major disease that can cause up to 90% yield loss in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The presence of 8 physiological races Foc (0, 1A, 1B/C, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) makes it complex task the development disease-resistant cultivar. Thus, Pyramiding 1, 4 was undertaken using WR 315 as donor Pusa 372 recurrent parent through Marker assisted backcross...

Blackgram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) yields are noticeably poor due to a shortage of improved varieties and an aggravated narrow genetic base. An attempt was made isolate novel blackgram mutants by selecting for yield-related traits derived through gamma irradiation testing the mutant genotype’s stability across different environments. The irradiated populations M1-M5 were established in backgro...

Sweet potato breeding in Africa, more especially Nigeria, has mainly focused on improving productivity farmers' fields and fresh root consumption. In order to target the program, study was conducted estimate magnitude of genotype × environment interaction (G E) select stable high yielding sweet genotypes for yield Cylas severity two locations, identify most discriminating representative test en...

Purpose. Identification of spring barley promising breeding lines with combination adaptive traits under conditions the central part Ukrainian Forest-Steppe. Methods. Field trial, laboratory-field analysis drought tolerance, statistical and graphical experimental data. Results. The variance AMMI model showed that largest contribution to general variation (85.78%) had environmental (years resear...
