Maize is the second most important staple food crop in the world after wheat. For maize hybrid seed production, a prominent step is detasseling in the female parent, which is laborious, time consuming, and increases the hybrid seed cost by 15 to 20 percent. Hence, to overcome this problem, exploitation of male sterility in maize crops gains special...
Fiber trait is multigenic and each parent of the population carrying different genes aid in arriving at varied blend of association between yield and fiber quality traits. Eleven parental lines were crossed in half-diallel fashion to arrive at 55 hybrid combinations, which were evaluated under seven environments. The results manifested highly signi...
Heat stress severely affects maize yield and productivity, making it essential to identify and select heat-tolerant genotypes. Three hundred seven testcrosses derived from a biparental population were evaluated during summer at two distinct high VPD environments along with four checks (P1844, P1855, DKC9108 and DKC9162) to know their performance an...

Plant breeders are always in pursuit of desirable genes and gene complexes, leading to identification of potential and promising individuals/segregants often exhibiting traits with higher intensity. Identifying segregants with desirable combination of multiple traits would enable a breeder to develop superior cultivars. In this study, combining abi...
Fusarium wilt (FW) is the most severe soil‐borne disease of chickpea that causes yield losses up to 100%. To improve FW resistance in JG 11, a high‐yielding variety that became susceptible to FW, we used WR 315 as the donor parent and followed the pedigree breeding method. Based on disease resistance and yield performance, four lines were evaluated...
In crop improvement, delineating inheritance pattern of a character guides a plant breeder to choose appropriate breeding procedure, which enables ease of improving phenotypic expression of the traits. To deduce the inheritance pattern of naked seed or fuzzless character, four parental lines involving two purely naked seed types (DHN-1 and DHN-10),...
Background: Chickpea is mainly grown on marginal lands and encounter the problem of erratic rainfall that causes lack of water availability especially at terminal growth stages. Exploration of yield stability and defining the adaptation domains of advance genotypes in different ecosystem is highly imperative for crop genetic improvement programs. D...
The field evaluation of various insecticides on major sucking pests of Bt-cotton during the 2022-23 season demonstrated significant reductions in pest occurrence across all treatments compared to the control. However, the efficacy varied depending on the insecticide used. Among all the treatments, Flonicamid 50 WG proved highly effective in managin...
Chickpea is a cool season, photothermal-sensitive crop, that is adversely affected by high temperatures (>35°C) and whose flowering is promoted by long-day conditions (>12 h). This prevents horizontal crop spread under a variety of agro-climatic conditions and the development of insensitive genotypes that perform well in all seasons. Therefore, a s...
Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is the right eco-friendly method to overcome the pink bollworm Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunder) menace.
