Intercropping cereals with N-fixing legume species: a method for conserving soil resources in low-input systems
(CIMMYT, 1993)
The natural resources of the developing world are becoming increasingly threatened as the agricultural sector intensifies. A major resource being lost is the topsoil. Low levels of soil organic matter and the incomplete ...

Canopy temperatures of wheat: relationships with yield and potential as a technique for early generation selection
(CIMMYT, 1993)
It is shown that, for bread wheat, air-canopy temperature difference correlates significantly with grain yield, especially when measurements are taken later in the day, We discuss the potential of this technique as an early ...

Adaptation of wheat to the canopy environment: physiological evidence that selection for vigor or random selection may reduce the frequency of high-yielding genotypes
(CIMMYT, 1993)
Increasing the potential yield of wheat is a major thrust of CIMMYT's Wheat Program. Farmer's wheat yields are linearly related to the yield potential of new varieties. At the same time, breeders should ideally be able to ...

Ensuring the use of sustainable crop management strategies by small wheat farmers in the 21st century
(CIMMYT, 1998)
Virtually all current strategies to implement modern, sustainable crop management production practices involve conservation/zero tillage prior to seeding, some form of crop residue retention and management, fertilizer ...
