The use of multiline varieties, described elsewhere in this report, offers one excellent option for slowing down the build-up of a rust epidemic and thereby permits the crop to mature without damage. The writer and his ...

The 10th International Triticale Yield Nursery (ITYN) was sent in August and September 1978 to be grown by cooperators in their spring seasons of 1978-79. Nurseries went to 96 locations in 36 countries. The 25 advanced ...

This summary is intended to supply the cooperators of the Second International Durum Screening Nursery with information on the more desirable seedling and adult plant responses to selected races of stem rust. Additional ...

In 1976 and 1977, our maize scientists worked alongside national program scientists in 45 countries. We had firsthand looks at international trials and at production problems in farmers' fields. We also contacted former ...

World wheat production for the year ending in mid-1978 dropped to 382 million tonnes (metric tons) from the record mid-1977 level of 415 million tonnes (USDA World Agricultural Situation, 18 December 1978). Most of the ...

Wheat production continued to expand faster than population growth, both world wide and in the developing countries. In the past decade, wheat production rose 50 per cent and population 30 per cent. World wheat production ...

El desarrollo, p0r parte de CIMMYT, de trigos duros (cristalinos o macarroneros) enanos y de amplia adaptación, ha ensanchado las perspectivas de producción alimentaria de las países donde se siembra este tipo de trigo. ...

El intensivo trabajo genotécnico realizado con triticale en el CIMMYT durante la década pasada, ha llevado a este cultivo "hecho por el hombre" al umbral de su explotaci6n comercial por agricultores del trópico y subtrópico.

CIMMYT's development of short, widely adapted durum wheats has enhanced the food production prospects of durum-producing nations. Scientists at CIMMYT and in national cereal programs are working together to combine high ...

Intensive triticale breeding at CIMMYT during the past decade has brought this "man-made" crop to the brink of commercial cultivation by farmers in the tropics and subtropics.
