Banana(Musa spp. L.) breeding, aiming to develop pest resistant cultivars for the export trade, started about 75 years ago in the West Indies. However, all banana exported today are still farmers' selection from somatic mutants of the group of Cavendish, and have a very narrow genetic base. In th...

Potato is the important food crop after wheat and rice, and its nutritious tubers are becoming increasingly popular in the developing world. Keeping up with the demand means adapting the potato to thrive in various soils and climates. It must also resist new threats from pests, disease, heat, and...

Breeding forage crops requires a genetic evolution to optimize the agronomic and compositional characteristics of the new hybrids. As a dynamic process, it is necessary to evaluate with precision and speed the parameters that determine the nutritional quality, in particular the contents of digest...

Application of field based high-throughput phenotyping (FB-HTP) methods for monitoring plant performance in real field conditions has a high potential to accelerate the breeding process. In this paper, we discuss the use of a simple tower based remote sensing platform using modified single-lens r...

A socio-economic survey was conducted in three districts;- Kirinyaga, Rachuonyo and Nakuru within the Kenya highlands in February to May 2004. The objective of the study was to assess demand for breeding services of smallholder dairy farmers. The major constraints experienced by the respondents i...

Bioversity International's 'Seeds for Needs' initiative works with farmers to research how agricultural biodiversity can help minimize the risks associated with climate change. The concept is simple – if farmers have better information and access to a wide range of varieties, they are more able t...
