This document discusses screening techniques for legume pod borer resistance in cowpea. It describes two main techniques: field screening and bioassay screening. Field screening relies on natural pest infestation but has biases due to varying environmental conditions between experimental units. Bioassay screening uses controlled rearing of the pest and artificial infestation of cowpea plants to overcome the limitations of field screening. It allows for equal pest pressure and control of environmental factors. The document outlines methods for rearing the pest and artificially infesting plants, and recommends using dual choice arena tests and intact pod tests in bioassays to study different resistance mechanisms.

SCREENING FOR LEGUME POD
BORER RESISTANCE IN COWPEA

Introduction
• Africa’s economy is driven by agriculture, the sector generates one-
third of the national income
• Agriculture accounts for 70-80% of the labor force in the continent
• Cowpea is an important legume crop in sub-Saharan Africa
• It’s a good source of proteins, energy micro and macro nutrients
• There is low production due to so biotic and abiotic challenges like
pests, diseases, low soil fertility and climate change
• This causes high cost of production and low profits to the farmer

Introduction
• Legume pod borer (Maruca vitrata) is the most devastating insect of
cowpea
• It feeds on over 70 species in Fabaceae
• The pest is known to damage cowpea flowers, pods and tender leaves
• This damages have a direct implication on the yield and quality of the
cowpea and can cause total crop failure
• There have been efforts made by researchers to control the borer
• Research in legume pod borer resistant cowpea is geared more towards
breeding and selection of resistant cowpea

SCREENING TECHNIQUES
a) Field Screening
This method relies on natural infestation
Susceptible cowpea variety is planted two weeks before test cowpea
variety to increase pest pressure
Apply selective pesticide to reduce interference from other pests like
flower thrips that feed on same plant parts as LPB (Sodedji et al, 2020)
Recommended agronomic practices carried out except plant protection
measures (Mohammed B.S., 2013)
Assessment requires accuracy of measurements taken
Measurement of damage is taken on flowers, pods and seeds, they
provide most important assessment

Field screening
• This method has been adopted widely
• It has some biases. For instance, it is very hard to ensure equal
pressure in all experimental units.
• some of environmental conditions are not under control of the
researcher,
• Using this method one may fail to know truly resistant or susceptible
varieties due to escape

SCREENING TECHNIQUES
b) Bioassay method
It is used to overcome shortcomings in field screening method due to
low or unknown infestation levels
The pest are reared in controlled environment
Both cowpea and composite diets are used for this purpose
A cowpea wheat flour diet can be used (50g of flour as the main
ingredient)
Wang et al. (2013) developed artificial diet based on soybean flour and
wheat germ for rearing LPB
Traore et al. (2017) modified a commonly used diet to rear stem borer
by supplementing cowpea flour for rapid multiplication of LPB

SCREENING TECHNIQUES
Artificial infestation
One has to think of how to perform the inoculation of insect on the plant
and how many insects to use
10 eggs/plant were used on young plants which were at 5-7 shoot stage
and resistance was checked based on larval survival and level of damage
on flowers, flower buds and pods(Odekola et al, 2008)

SCREENING TECHNIQUES
b) Use of bioassay
Jackai (1991) proposed two complimentary bioassays to screen for LPB
resistance:
Dual choice arena test(DCAT) where fresh pods segments of both test
and control cowpea were exposed to LPB larvae. It provides feeding
index and preference ratio
DCAT helps study antixenosis mechanism of resistance
Intact pod test provides information on about insect response in a no-
choice situation

1 A pest is a plant or animal detrimental to humans or human concerns (as agriculture or livestock production) 2. it includes organisms that cause nuisance and epidemic disease associated with high mortality 3. An animal or insect or other organisms that causes problems for people especially by damaging crops 4. To humans, it is anyone who others or annoys other people 5. in its broadcast sense, it is a competitor of humanity

PIGEON PEA BREEDING- MASTER SEMINARakshithabezawada

��

The document summarizes a seminar on pigeon pea breeding, including its achievements, challenges, and future strategies. It discusses pigeon pea's importance as a nutritional crop and describes traditional breeding approaches that have focused on developing varieties with resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Recent developments include identifying genetic markers for disease resistance and developing the first hybrid varieties using genetic male sterility systems, though these hybrids did not widely reach farmers due to high production costs. Moving forward, the document recommends continuing to expand genetic diversity and identify new sources of stress resistance from wild relatives to develop higher yielding pigeon pea varieties.

Dr. Swapan Kumar Datta discusses pulses research and development in India. 111 improved varieties of pulses have been developed along with 6000 demonstrations across the country. There is a need for pod borer resistant GM pigeon pea and chickpea. Lentils are a nutritious grain legume high in protein, carbohydrates, calcium, iron, and folates. Chickpea production in India is projected to increase from 18.5 mt currently to 28 mt by 2020-21 through yield increases of 8.6% annually. Challenges for pulses in India include declining area, low genetic yield potential, biotic and abiotic stresses, and post-harvest losses. The government has implemented several programs

Integrated weed Management in pulses and oilseedsAbhishek Malpani

��

Integrated weed management in pulses and oilseeds aims to control weeds through a combination of cultural, physical, biological and chemical methods to maximize crop yields. Weeds compete with crops for water, nutrients and sunlight, reducing yields by up to 60%. The critical period of weed control varies by crop but typically falls between 15-60 days after sowing when weed removal has the greatest impact on minimizing yield losses. An integrated approach using herbicide application, crop rotation, and manual or mechanical removal can effectively control weed populations while limiting environmental and economic costs.

Biological control using Trichoderma spp. is an effective alternative to chemical pesticides for controlling plant pathogens. Trichoderma is a common soil fungus with mycoparasitic properties that allow it to control pathogens through antibiosis, nutrient competition, and destructive mycoparasitism. Successful biocontrol requires obtaining a highly effective strain, inexpensive mass production, and application methods that allow the agent to colonize roots and proliferate. Trichoderma is commercially used as a seed treatment or soil amendment to protect roots from diseases through mycoparasitism and inducing host plant resistance.

��

This document summarizes research on using endophytic microbes to improve the productivity of Brachiaria grasses in sub-Saharan Africa. Brachiaria grasses are well-suited to the region's climate but are underutilized. The researcher isolated endophytic fungi and bacteria from Brachiaria that may help the grasses grow better and be more drought resistant by promoting plant growth. Characterizing these microbes' effects on the grasses and soil could help increase forage availability, livestock production, and smallholder farmer incomes in the region through the Climate Smart Brachiaria Program. Further testing of the microbes is needed to determine their agricultural applications.

Presentation on preventive measures of weed control.pptxSudha Neupane

��

Weeds have been known since the ancient times. Weed are unwanted plant that grow along with the main crop in the field. Weed are considered as cumbersome for successful agriculture production. Due to crop-weed competition the crop yield losses are generally high in agriculture production. So, in order to minimize such losses farmers are practicing several weed management strategies which includes prevention, eradication, control (mechanical, cultural, biological and chemical method). The cultural methods are expensive and time consuming so, farmer have to move towards other alternative methods of weed control Varga et.al (2000). Furthermore, due to rising labor cost and non-availability of labor for manual weeding during the critical period of weed control has contributed to use of herbicides. Herbicides not only timely and effectively controls the weed but also offer a great scope for minimizing the cost of production Varga et.al (2000). Control methods are applied after the emergence of weed on the field while prevention methods of weed control are adopted before sowing the crops. Generally, there are two objectives: 1. To prevent the entry and establishment of weed species in an area.2. To prevent the spread of weed or to limit the weed build up in a field. These objectives are referred as prevention. And any method that are applied before sowing the crop to prevent there entry , establishment and spreads comes under the prevention category. Focusing on second objective of preventive measures of weed control we can say that some cultural methods such as crop rotation or crop diversification, stale seed bed, tillage system, cover crops ( used as green manures or dead mulches),soil solarization, irrigation and drainage systems and crop residues managements can be included under preventive methods of weed control. In practice, weed management strategies should integrate indirect (preventive) methods with direct (cultural and curative) methods. The first category includes any method used before a crop is sown, while the second includes any methods applied during a crop growing cycle. Methods in both categories can influence either weed density (i.e., the number of individuals per unit area) and/or weed development (biomass production and soil cover). However, while indirect methods aim mainly to reduce the numbers of plants emerging in a crop, direct methods also aim to increase crop competitive ability against weeds.The success of prevention depends on awareness of the problem, species, effort, Co-operation, area. •Most effective where adopted against a single species on a large area on a cooperative basis. In conclusion we can say that farmers have several preventive methods in their arsenal that they can put together to build up a good weed management strategy. Preventive weed control is permanent weed control and usually require community action. it. For this process, a collective or joint effort and commitment is required.

This document discusses approaches for breeding wheat with resistance to rust diseases. It begins by noting the importance of wheat as a food crop and challenges in meeting future demand. Classical breeding approaches are described that involve determining breeding objectives, assessing genetic variation, crossing, evaluation and selection. Molecular approaches for identifying rust resistance genes using markers can detect variations directly and are not influenced by environment. An efficient breeding program requires clear objectives, understanding pathogen variation and available resistance sources to design programs. Selection of parents, hybridization techniques, bulk and pedigree selection methods, and marker assisted selection are described to introgress resistance while maintaining other important traits.

Growth and Yield Response of Bread Wheat Variety Grown Under Varying Seed Rat...Premier Publishers

��

Wheat is among the most important staple crop globally. However, constrained by appropriate agronomic practices. Therefore, the information on the interaction effect of seed rate and weeding period is useful to identify the effective time of weeding for high yield of wheat. Thus, the present study conducted at Amuru district of Horro Guduru Zone, Ethiopia in 2019 cropping season with the aim of identifying optimum seed rate and appropriate time of weeding to improve production and productivity of bread in the area. The experiment was laid down in randomized complete block (RCB) design with three replications. The treatment was arranged in factorial combinations of four weeding intervals (farmer practice, weeding at two weeks after emergence, three weeks after emergence and four weeks after emergence) and three levels of seed rate (125 kg, 150 kg and 175 kg-1).The result showed that days to 50% heading, days to maturity and effective tillers per plant were highly significantly (p<0.01) affected by the interaction effect of weeding time and seed rate. Moreover, interaction effect of weeding time and seed rate was significantly (p<0.01) affected the weed above ground dry biomass. Guizotia scabra (22.47%) with population density (370), Phalaris paradoxa (22.10%) with population (364), Plantago lanceolata (18.58%) with population density (306), and Bidens piloso L. (8.74%) were the dominant weed species competing with wheat in the study area. Minimum relative weed density (26.6%) weed dry biomass (1.7gm) and maximum weed control efficiency (98.08%) was recorded at weeding four weeks after emergence and 175kgha-1seed rate. Thus, the finding suggest grain yield was increased (52.3%) when weeding four weeks after emergence over farmers practice and 13.75% at 175kg seed rate.

Mutation Breeding is A standard technique of creating variability by means of altering genes through induction of mutations by physical or chemical mutagens and using the same effectively through elaborate methods of selection techniques in various generations for improvement of a particular crop species for desired objectives. It is sometimes referred to as "variation breeding", A process of exposing seeds to chemicals, radiation, or enzymes.

Biological control-plant pathogenMuhammad Furqann

��

Biological control of plant pathogens involves using beneficial microorganisms to suppress disease-causing pathogens. Trichoderma fungi are commonly used as biological control agents against soilborne fungal pathogens. They can control pathogens through antibiosis, nutrient competition, and destructive mycoparasitism. For successful biocontrol, the agent must be effective, able to compete and persist in the environment, be produced inexpensively, and applied in a way that allows it to function. Commercial Trichoderma products are used as soil treatments or seed coatings to protect plant roots from diseases caused by fungi like Pythium, Rhizoctonia, and Fusarium. Future developments may involve engineering crops with transgenes from biocontrol

MicropropagationHimanshi Chauhan

��

This document discusses micropropagation, which is the rapid vegetative propagation of plants using modern tissue culture methods to produce genetically identical copies. It can be used to multiply genetically modified plants, overcome limitations of conventional breeding, and provide sufficient plantlets from stock plants that do not produce seeds or respond well to other propagation. The key methods are multiplication through meristematic tissue, adventitious shoots, somatic embryogenesis, and organogenesis. Micropropagation has commercial uses and significance in producing disease-free plants year-round, exchanging germplasm internationally, conserving genetics, and producing synthetic seeds. While expensive, it provides uniformity and allows maintaining germplasm stocks for years.

Detection of ferrihydrite in Martian red dust records ancient cold and wet co...Sérgio Sacani

��

Iron oxide-hydroxide minerals in Martian dust provide crucial insights into Mars’ past climate and habitability. Previous studies attributed Mars’ red color to anhydrous hematite formed through recent weathering. Here, we show that poorly crystalline ferrihydrite (Fe5O8H · nH2O) is the dominant iron oxidebearing phase in Martian dust, based on combined analyses of orbital, in-situ, and laboratory visible near-infrared spectra. Spectroscopic analyses indicate that a hyperfine mixture of ferrihydrite, basalt and sulfate best matches Martian dust observations. Through laboratory experiments and kinetic calculations, we demonstrate that ferrihydrite remains stable under present-day Martian conditions, preserving its poorly crystalline structure. The persistence of ferrihydrite suggests it formed during a cold, wet period on early Mars under oxidative conditions, followed by a transition to the current hyper-arid environment. This finding challenges previous models of continuous dry oxidation and indicates that ancient Mars experienced aqueous alteration before transitioning to its current desert state.

The Solar System’s passage through the Radcliffe wave during the middle MioceneSérgio Sacani

��

As the Solar System orbits the Milky Way, it encounters various Galactic environments, including dense regions of the interstellar medium (ISM). These encounters can compress the heliosphere, exposing parts of the Solar System to the ISM, while also increasing the influx of interstellar dust into the Solar System and Earth’s atmosphere. The discovery of new Galactic structures, such as the Radcliffe wave, raises the question of whether the Sun has encountered any of them. Aims. The present study investigates the potential passage of the Solar System through the Radcliffe wave gas structure over the past 30 million years (Myr). Methods. We used a sample of 56 high-quality, young (≤30 Myr) open clusters associated with a region of interest of the Radcliffe wave to trace its motion back and investigate a potential crossing with the Solar System’s past orbit. Results. We find that the Solar System’s trajectory intersected the Radcliffe wave in the Orion region. We have constrained the timing of this event to between 18.2 and 11.5 Myr ago, with the closest approach occurring between 14.8 and 12.4 Myr ago. Notably, this period coincides with the Middle Miocene climate transition on Earth, providing an interdisciplinary link with paleoclimatology. The potential impact of the crossing of the Radcliffe wave on the climate on Earth is estimated. This crossing could also lead to anomalies in radionuclide abundances, which is an important research topic in the field of geology and nuclear astrophysics.

How could modern LA research address data-related ethics issues in informal and situated professional learning? I will identify in this talk three relevant insights based on field studies around workplace LA interventions: Firstly, in informal and situated learning, data isn’t just about the learners. Secondly, the affordances of manual and automatic data tracking for learning are very different, with manual tracking allowing a high degree of learner control over data. Thirdly, learning is not necessarily a shared goal in workplaces. These can be translated into seeing a potential for systems endowed with sufficient natural-language-processing capability (now seemingly at our fingertips with LLMs), and socio-technical design and scenario-based data collection analysis as design and research methods.

SCREENING LPD RESISTANCE.pptx

1. SCREENING FOR LEGUME POD BORER RESISTANCE IN COWPEA

2. Introduction • Africa’s economy is driven by agriculture, the sector generates one- third of the national income • Agriculture accounts for 70-80% of the labor force in the continent • Cowpea is an important legume crop in sub-Saharan Africa • It’s a good source of proteins, energy micro and macro nutrients • There is low production due to so biotic and abiotic challenges like pests, diseases, low soil fertility and climate change • This causes high cost of production and low profits to the farmer

3. Introduction • Legume pod borer (Maruca vitrata) is the most devastating insect of cowpea • It feeds on over 70 species in Fabaceae • The pest is known to damage cowpea flowers, pods and tender leaves • This damages have a direct implication on the yield and quality of the cowpea and can cause total crop failure • There have been efforts made by researchers to control the borer • Research in legume pod borer resistant cowpea is geared more towards breeding and selection of resistant cowpea

4. SCREENING TECHNIQUES a) Field Screening This method relies on natural infestation Susceptible cowpea variety is planted two weeks before test cowpea variety to increase pest pressure Apply selective pesticide to reduce interference from other pests like flower thrips that feed on same plant parts as LPB (Sodedji et al, 2020) Recommended agronomic practices carried out except plant protection measures (Mohammed B.S., 2013) Assessment requires accuracy of measurements taken Measurement of damage is taken on flowers, pods and seeds, they provide most important assessment

5. Field screening • This method has been adopted widely • It has some biases. For instance, it is very hard to ensure equal pressure in all experimental units. • some of environmental conditions are not under control of the researcher, • Using this method one may fail to know truly resistant or susceptible varieties due to escape

6. SCREENING TECHNIQUES b) Bioassay method It is used to overcome shortcomings in field screening method due to low or unknown infestation levels The pest are reared in controlled environment Both cowpea and composite diets are used for this purpose A cowpea wheat flour diet can be used (50g of flour as the main ingredient) Wang et al. (2013) developed artificial diet based on soybean flour and wheat germ for rearing LPB Traore et al. (2017) modified a commonly used diet to rear stem borer by supplementing cowpea flour for rapid multiplication of LPB

7. SCREENING TECHNIQUES Artificial infestation One has to think of how to perform the inoculation of insect on the plant and how many insects to use 10 eggs/plant were used on young plants which were at 5-7 shoot stage and resistance was checked based on larval survival and level of damage on flowers, flower buds and pods(Odekola et al, 2008)

8. SCREENING TECHNIQUES b) Use of bioassay Jackai (1991) proposed two complimentary bioassays to screen for LPB resistance: Dual choice arena test(DCAT) where fresh pods segments of both test and control cowpea were exposed to LPB larvae. It provides feeding index and preference ratio DCAT helps study antixenosis mechanism of resistance Intact pod test provides information on about insect response in a no- choice situation
