Breeding philosophies and methodologies developed for favorable conditions and high-input agriculture have been ineffective in generating improved cultivars for marginal conditions and low-input agriculture. The project is implementing a novel breeding approach for barley improvement in the low-p...

Increasing the relevance of breeding to small farmers: Farmer participation and local knowledge in breeding barley for specific adaptation to dry areas of Jordan
Participatory plant-breeding (PPB) methods were used to develop two acceptable, cold-tolerant rice varieties in Nepal: Maehhapuchhre-3 (M-3) and Machhapuchhre-9 (M-9). Both were derived from the cross Fuji 102 Chhomrong Dhan. Following the introduction of these varieties from 1993 to 1998,the cha...

The impact of participatory plant breeding (PPB) on landrace diversity: A case study for high-altitude rice in Nepal
Developing maize varieties that will be readily adopted by subsistence farmers is challenging as there are numerous characteristics in addition to agronomic performance that are important to these farmers. Furthermore, these preferences vary from location to location. it may be logical lo conclud...

Participatory varietal selection (PVS) was used to try to identify an alternative to the most popular rice variety, Pusa 44, in the Patiala district of the Punjab. Pusa 44 (released in 1993 in India but not recommended for the Punjab) is grown in over 50% of the rice area in Patiala. It is highly...

In this paper CONSERVE's experiences in handling two research approaches in participatory plant breeding in rice are discussed: researcher-managed or on-station trials (OSTs) and farmer-managed trials. OSTs are done on CONSERVE's farm. CONSERVE crosses (CC) were used as materials for evaluation o...
