dc.description.abstractAn ethnobotanical survey was conducted in the mid-hills of Nepal to identify genetic resources of dry-season legumes. An automated irrigation system was developed to precisely water potted plants and facilitate screening candidates for traits conferring drought tolerance. Legume productivity in the dry season benefits from improved water use efficiency and biological nitrogen fixation in dry soils. This poster illustrates research into drought tolerant legume crops that can provide food and feed in the lean season, and help prevent erosion in terrace farming in Nepal.en
