Prediction of pulse suitability in rice fallow areas using fuzzy AHP-based machine learning methods in Eastern India
In Eastern India, a widespread practice known as “rice fallow pulse” (RFP) involves using the soil’s remaining moisture to grow a short-duration pulse crop. For rainfed systems, it is an excellent practice of climate adaptation. To help farmers...
Anthropogenic events and responses to environmental stress are shaping the genomes of Ethiopian indigenous goats
Anthropological and biophysical processes have shaped livestock genomes over Millenia and can explain their current geographic distribution and genetic divergence. We analyzed 57 Ethiopian indigenous domestic goat genomes alongside 67...
Assessing limitations in published camel feeding studies: implications for smart feeding practices in meat and milk production
Rearing camels in intensive production systems started in the last 20 years. This led to a considerable change in camel feeding and nutrition including the use of new feeds (i.e. gains, agricultural by-products, supplements). Therefore, research...
Morphological evaluation and yield performance of lentil genotypes against stemphylium blight
Experiment was designed to screen out lentil genotypes against Stemphylium blight (SB). Thirty-five test genotypes along with one moderately susceptible popular local control ‘Moitree’ were grown under natural epiphytotic condition in the farm...
Advances in analytical techniques for assessing volatile organic compounds in pulse crops: a comprehensive review
Pulse crops, including beans, peas, chickpeas, and lentils, are vital sources of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients worldwide. They serve not only as staple foods but also as key components of sustainable agricultural practices...
Genetic evaluation of growth rate and efficiency-related traits in Dorper × local crossbred sheep population
The present study was carried out to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for growth rate and efficiency-related traits in Dorper crossbred sheep population. Data on body weight collected from 2012 to 2021 at Debre Birhan Agricultural...
United for Land - Regenerative Grazing to Combat Desertification
CGIAR's Livestock and Climate Initiative and ICARDA's toolkit blend modern science with indigenous knowledge to restore degraded lands and support dryland farmers.
