Participatory plant breeding (PPB) is one of the on-farm conservation strategies designed to maintain or enhance the level of landrace genetic diversity deployed on-farm. The global in situ project .aims to strengthen the skiIls and knowledge of local communities in locating and understanding the...
In the so-called difficult environments, institutional plant breeding appears to be a failure, mainly because breeding is directed at increasing yields in more favorable environments. Although the improved varieties have broad adaptability, under varied marginal envi...
In recent years the National Root and Tuber Crops Program of Vietnam, with the cooperation and assistance of the Centro International de Agricultura Tropical (CI AT), has drawn up a plan for strengthening the research and development capacity, with the objective of improving cassava production in...
Through cooperation with CIAT, national programs in China have paid more and more attention to cassava agronomy research and a lot of progress has been made. This paper describes briefly the most common cropping systems and production practices presently used by farmers. It also reviews the resul...
Over the period 1994-1996, seven batches of seeds and two of meristem tissue cultures were evaluated and selected. As important as root yield is the trait starch content (or dry matter content) if a clone is to be accepted as a starch cultivar. At the time of reporting a number of clones have bee...
This paper presents information from a study on farmers' seed-management practices growing pearl millet in Rajasthan, India. It describes farmers' own crop-improvement activities in regard to yield, quality, and diversity of pearl millet, with emphasis on seed-management strategies, such as intro...
This paper describes a participatory plant-breeding (PPB) program for rice in eastern India, targeted at a range of ecosystems. Only a few crosses with large populations were used. Most resources were used on selection by farmers among progeny bulks grown on a research station, but farmers also s...
Los frijoles (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) son un componente fundamental de la dieta y un cultivo importante en todo el Caribe. Las siembras anuales de frijoles en la región exceden 200,000 ha aunque los rendimientos son bajos -de 400 a 900 kg/ha. El frijol es producido casi todo el año en diferentes s...
