Conduct Participatory variety and hybrids selection trials across target agro-ecologies in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia
In singida district, variety with tied ridges had mean grain yield of 2.017 t ha-1 compared to 1.596 t ha-1 for variety without tied ridges which was a 26% yield advantage. Varieties ASARECA 24-4-1 (1.983 t ha-1) and IESV ...
Advance breeding populations for resistance to blast, striga and drought; high nutrient content and desired traits like snapping quality and none-logging
Breeding populations at F2, F3 and F4 for the different traits were established in the field for evaluation and the selected ones advanced. At the same time new F1 populations are being made for advancing to F2 the next ...
Evaluate selected hybrids (25-49) across agro-ecologies in Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Sudan and Uganda
In Kenya and Tanzania hybrids IESH 22023, IESH 28005, IESH 22009, IESH 214016 and IESH 214016 had the best grain yields (4.370-6.889 t/ha) and overall agronomy and were selected for on-farm testing. These hybrids had ...
