Abstract
The manual describes how to organize a PPB programme in self-pollinated, crosspollinated and vegetatively propagated crops, how to design the trials, collect, organize and
analyse the data, and eventually how to use and share the information generated by a PPB
programme. The overall objective is to show that Institutions responsible for plant breeding
can organize their plant breeding programmes in a participatory manner and therefore in
many cases the topics discussed are common to PPB and to Conventional Plant Breeding
(CPB); this underlines that a PPB programme can be organized on scientific grounds as solid
as those on which a CPB programme is based.
