Introduction Sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani is one of the major diseases of rice,
causing widespread crop losses. The use of semi-dwarf rice varieties in the ongoing nutrient …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the primary macronutrients required for crop growth and yield. This
nutrient is especially limiting in the dry and low fertility soils where pearl millet [Pennisetum …

Rice grain yield is drastically reduced under low light especially in kharif (wet) season due to
cloudy weather during most part of crop growth. Therefore, 50–60% of yield penalty was …

Rice and wheat are globally dominant staple cereals and supply a substantial proportion of
caloric intake in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). Straw byproducts from these …

Lodging, poor crop varieties and nitrogen management are among the main tef cultivation
problems in acidic soils of northwestern Ethiopia. Though Si has been shown to improve …

Assessing genetic diversity and development of a core set of elite breeding lines is a
prerequisite for selective hybridization programes intended to improve the yield potential in …

The inherent genetic diversity in rice, a crucial factor for crop improvement, was explored
using 39 gene-based yield-related markers across 128 cultivars released over the last 60 …
