It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. MS Swaminathan, former IRRI Director General (1982-1988). He was awarded the first World Food Prize in 1987 for developing and spearheading the introduction of high-yielding rice varieties into India during the '60s

IWM in Pigeonpea @UQWeedScience @QAAFI
Pigeonpea is a drought & heat-tolerant summer legume, & provides both grain for human consumption & livestock fodder. Its slow growth habit is a significant limitation, making it susceptible to yield loss as a consequence of competition from weeds: buff.ly/37zcc2m
