Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is a major legume crop and an important source of protein in Africa. The Kafr El-Sheikh University has a long history of cowpea breeding and improvement in Egypt. Two superior lines with high seed yield and quality were selected through mutation breeding and released to farmers as new varieties under the names Kafr El Sheikh-1 and Kaha-1. Crosses were made between these two varieties to further improve cowpea to meet farmers’ demand. Using the pedigree selection method, 13 new superior F10 lines were selected and evaluated over 2 years for seed yield and related traits, earliness, and protein content under low (16 plants/m2) and high (24 plants/m2) plant densities. The results showed that plants grown in narrower space produced significantly higher seed yield per unit area than the plants grown in wider space. All developed lines produced significantly higher seed yield than the two parental lines in the 2018 trial and Kaha-1 in the 2019 trial. Line number 6 proved to be the best genotype for earliness (73.5–73.9 days after sowing), seed yield (573–647 g/m2), and crude protein content (22.7–24.3%) in both trials. In addition, line 4 with bushy determinate growth habit and high seed quality was recently released as a new variety (Sakha-1). Several other cowpea lines have clear potential for release as new high-yielding varieties with early maturity and high seed quality for farmers in Egypt. Seeds of selected lines are available from Kafrelsheikh University. This shows that mutation breeding and pedigree selection methods are among the most promising breeding methods for cowpea improvement.
The newly bread wheat cultivar Gemmeiza 11 has been selected from a local cross made at Gemmeiza Agricultural Research Station, Wheat Research Dept. FCRI, ARC. Egypt, using the pedigree method.
The new promising bread wheat cultivar Shandaweel 1 has been selected from one of the advanced lines among the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center collections ( CIMMYT )grown in wheat research department, Field Crops Research Institute, ARC. Egyptat Shandaweel Research Station. The grain yield of the new cultivar Shandaweel 1 was evaluated through 99 experiments conducted at four different levels; ( 8 macro, 56 micro and 35 verification yield trials)in seasons, respectively. Results proved superiority of the new bread wheat cultivar Shandaweel 1 compared to the commercial checks cultivars Sakha 93, Sakha 94, Gemmeiza 9 and Giza 168 for grain yield at North, South and Middle Delta and Upper Egypt regions. Moreover, the results of the verification yield trials ensure the superiority of Shandaweel 1 cultivar on the commercial wheat cultivar Giza 168 at North, Middle, South Delta and Upper Egypt. Alsothe superiority of Shandaweel 1 cultivar on the commercial wheat cultivar Giza 168 and Gemmeiza 9 at North and South Delta and the Out Valley region was observed and recorded. Thus, we can highly recommended the new cultivar Shandaweel 1to be grow at North Delta, South Delta,Middle Delta, Middle and Upper Egypt and the Out Valley regions. أمدين ابددبمياد بدي, ,إبد مدو,يبد بدديف يد مدو , ممدا, محمدد أحمد , صادق محمد إيمان بمدددين اددز , ف مشدد خبددف محمددد , ابدبممجيددد ,صدديد دب و أبددو ,أبددوب حمددادب د ,أسدد مدال أحمدد , محجدو بمسديد ديدا, , دنددبو حمدد , اشدو حسدن , بمسديد حمن ابدبم مصطفى ناديد , وادى بم و,داض , موسدى أحمدد , بممنشداو ابدبمسدي, , ددامى بمب دانى , ددال جمد , ابدبمدددبي, صددبحى , ددويب, سد ابدبمبددع , قمبدد اددا , ددي د بم أبددو صددباد , ابدددبمنو سديد , خامدد ي, ابددبم محمدد , حماد يد س , حسن محمد سيي , سبي, صب , بو بمش ا دال مند , حمن ددبم ابد ددب ,ماجد داو بمصد دزب اد , دى بد بممز , ددبممن ابد داد مد , دن حسد دمد بدبمصد , د د دجد دادل ,اد دا يد ز دد محمد , دي, بمسد دد ابد دان ماد ع بد د مد ددبمفماد ابد , ال ددبم ابد دد محمد أمجد , ي, ابدبم ثناض , ك مبا يوسف محمد , محمود وخ شم محمود , مصطفى طع أحمد بم دى ز وميدد , اجدين ابددبمودا من مد , بداو بمز ددد , سى م محمد , حدا, , يمدانى دب صد بدي, د إبد , دان ناثد ين دي شد , داد جد بدي, د إبد دد خامد , دب ددم بمد دد خامد , دد ابدبمحميد ديد بمسد ددد ابدبموبحد ددان ,جييد محمدددد دددين بمد ددى محد ددد محمد , دددبمماد ابد ددوبى ند ددد محمد , دددبمبطيف ابد ود محد , مصدطفى ادز ,مصدطفى بمددين شديا بمددين مدا , ع جم بمدين,ابدبمسي, نو , ادا يف,سدامى ش أبدو دطفى ,مصد جدودب ادادل , بي, ابددبم د مسد , شد ش صدفاض محمدد , دا حند دل نبيد , جد د جد دى موسد , دود محمد دل خ...
Gemmeiza 12, a new bread wheat variety released by Wheat Research Department, Field Crops Research Institute, ARC, Egypt in 2012, offers wheat growers a new choice for high yielding, and rust resistant variety. Gemmeiza 12 originated and selected from a hybrid made at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT). The parentages and pedigree of Gemmeiza 12 are : OTUS/3/SARA/THB//VEE CMSS97Y00227S-5y-010M-010Y-010M-2Y-1M-0Y-OGM .Based on the results of 76 yield trials conducted during three successive growing
