| dc.description.abstract | Ethiopia is one of the major wheat producing countries in Africa with an estimated area of 1.7 million ha and production of 4,23,1589 at the productivity level of 2.5 ton/ha. About 4.6 million small-scale farmers are involved in wheat production. A yellow rust epidemic in 2010 devastated close to 600,000 ha exacerbating the already looming stem rust threat in the country. In response to this, in 2011, an ICARDA-EIAR (Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research) joint project (2011-2014) supported by USAID was launched to deploy resistant varieties to counter the threat of rusts. | en_US |
