Wheat bibliography from Southern Africa: breeding, pathology and production research and extension literature
(CIMMYT, 1997)
The impetus for this bibliography came as a guide to the Steering Committee of the Maize and Wheat Improvement Research Network for SADC (MWIRNET) to the published wheat research conducted in southern Africa. This type of ...
Report
Milling, baking, and grain factors influencing the quality of tandyr bread (Nan) in Central Asia report on a study conducted in four countries of Central Asia
(CIMMYT, 2002)
During the time of the Soviet Union, the inhabitants of the Central Asian Republics consumed mainly dense, pan-type bread that was mass-produced in large baking plants. However, after CA countries achieved independence, ...
Report
Wheat, barley, and triticale cultivars: a list of publications in which national cereal breeders have noted the cooperation or germplasm they received from CIMMYT
(CIMMYT, 1997)
Sustainable cereal production on farmers' fields: that is the ultimate measure of the impact of CIMMYT's research. Its achievement requires a combination of effective technologies and the most appropriate seeds. Over the ...
Handbook
Guide to bread wheat breeding at CIMMYT
(CIMMYT, 2002)
This special report provides a detailed introduction to the three subprograms of the CIMMYT Wheat Program. First published in the late 1980s, the report has been updated regularly as the bread wheat breeding methodology ...
Report
Effects of date of sowing on the yield and yield components of spring wheat and their relationship with solar radiation and temperature at Ludhiana, Punjab, India
(CIMMYT, 1993)
This Wheat Special Report analyzes the effects of radiation and temperature on the date of flowering and grain yield of spring bread wheat cropped under optimum conditions. The experiments were conducted at Ludhiana, Punjab, ...

Report
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 ...
Research Report
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 ...
Report
Vernalization requirement and response to day length in guiding development in wheat
(CIMMYT, 1993)
Vernalization requirement and response to day length are the major factors controlling development in wheat (Triticum aesitvum L.). This study was to determine how they integrate in the field in Obregon, Sonora, Mexico to ...
Report
Increasing the yield potential of irrigated bread wheat: basis for physiological research at CIMMYT
(CIMMYT, 1992)
Yield potential (YP) is defined as the "yield of a cultivar grown in environments to which it is adapted when nutrients and water are nonlimiting, and when pests, diseases, weeds, lodging, and other stresses are effectively ...
