Determination of A More Efficient Method of Grafting Mangoes and Optimum Growth Environment for A Successful Graft Union
Abstract: AbstractMangoes (Mangifera indica) have traditionally been propagated through seeds but this process takes many years for trees to start bearing fruits (7–10 years). Grafting is used to shorten the juvenile period in which mangoes start bearing between as early as 1 to 3 years. Farmers believe that after grafting, grafted plants need to be placed in greenhouse for successful union of the graft and growth of the sprouts. Authors know …

Farmers’ Awareness of Bean Ascochyta Blight and Evaluation of Constraints of Bean Production in Rwanda.
Abstract: The awareness and perceptions of ascochyta blight by farmers is an important factor that affects the type of bean genotype adopted. Although farmers in Rwanda prefer large-seeded bean genotypes both for consumption and for market, these genotypes are susceptible to ascochyta blight. It was observed that farmers are abandoning large-seeded bean genotypes in preference for smaller seeded genotypes which seem to be more resistant. Therefore, the objective of this study …

Agricultural Waste Management System by using Waste Product
Abstract: - Agricultural wastes are non-product outputs of production and process of agricultural goods which will contain material that may profit man however whose economic values are less than the cost of collection, transportation, and processing for beneficial use. Estimates of agricultural waste arising are rare, however they're typically thought of as contributory a big proportion of the whole waste material within the developed world. Agricultural development is typically in the …

Conventional and Molecular Breeding for Bacterial Leaf Blight and Blast Resistance in Rice
Abstract: AbstractBacterial leaf blight (BLB) and blast are the major limiting factors for rice production in the world. Host resistance mechanism by exploiting the resistance genes (R gene) is one of the most effective ways to achieve the genetic potential of the rice cultivars. Conventional breeding in the past has developed several resistant varieties having major genes for resistance to blast and BLB. Marker-assisted backcross breeding (MABB) provides a long way …
