- The Fifth Regional Wheat Workshop for Eastern, Central, and Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean(CIMMYT, 1988) Tanner, D.G.; Van Ginkel, M.Wheat and triticale have again become part of the agricultural practices of Malagasy farmers and production has increased in the last few years. However, two major wheat problems appeared in 1986: wheat rust and the exceptionally harsh frost that destroye
Publication - International TRIGO (Wheat) Yield Potential, Proceedings; Cd. Obregon, Sonora, Mexico; 24-26 Mar 2015(CIMMYT, 2015) Reynolds, M.P.; Molero, G.; Mollins, J.; Braun, H.J.The abstracts herein are of presentations by crop experts for the “TRIGO (Wheat) Yield Potential Workshop”. Sponsored by SAGARPA’s international strategic component for increasing wheat performance, under the Sustainable Modernization of Traditional Agriculture Program (MasAgro); and CRP WHEAT. The event covers innovative methods to significantly raise wheat yield potential, including making photosynthesis more efficient, improving adaptation of flowering to diverse environments, addressing the physical processes involved in lodging, and physiological and molecular breeding. The workshop represents the current research of the MasAgro TRIGO project and CRP WHEAT that involves scientists working on all continents to strategically integrate research components in a common breeding platform, there by speeding the delivery to farmers of new wheat genotypes.
Publication - Proceedings of the Sixth International Cereal Nematodes Symposium(INRA, 2017) Dababat, A.A.; Mokrini, F.; Smiley, R.W.The Sixth International Cereal Nematodes Symposium, held in Agadir, Morocco during 11-15 September 2017, is an update to the 1st International Cereal Cyst Nematodes Initiative Workshop held in 2009 in Antalya, Turkey. The 6th International Cereal Nematodes Symposium involved more than 80 scientists from wheat and barley producing regions in 16 countries throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, North Africa and North America. Cereal nematodes are microscopic parasites that invade roots of wheat, barley, oats and other small grain cereals. The most important of these plant-parasitic nematodes occur in the genera Heterodera (cyst nematodes) and Pratylenchus (root-lesion nematodes). Forty five abstracts in this proceeding cover: the history and status of cereal nematodes globally and regionally; research on morphological, genetic and ecological diversity; development and deployment of host resistance including development and applications of molecular technologies; and investigations into other strategies for reducing the magnitude of economic damage caused by cereal nematodes. Special emphasis is given to opportunities to develop and deploy integrations of sustainable management practices. The papers provide valuable insights into the impacts of cereal nematodes and endeavors to provide sustainable management options for farmers. The impact of cereal nematodes in reducing crop yields and the efficiency of cropping systems ranges from severe in resource-limited cropping systems to minor in cropping systems where it is possible to integrate a broader range of rotation crops and resource-intensive inputs. Unacceptable levels of economic loss continue to occur in many countries. International collaboration such as occurred in this workshop is required to ensure that appropriate genetic resources and technologies are developed, communicated and deployed.
