Guide to the CIMMYT Wheat Crop Protection Subprogram
(CIMMYT, 1994)
This wheat special report provides an introduction to the CIMMYT Wheat Program's Crop Protection Subprogram. It is designed to help acquaint donors, visiting scientists, and other interested persons with the Subprogram's ...

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 ...

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 ...

Assessment and development of an agricultural research station: physical and personnel needs
(CIMMYT, 1994)
The agricultural research station plays a vital role in the generation of both new knowledge and appropriate technologies for farmers. However, despite the importance and complexity of running research stations, there is ...

Lines tested in the International Spring Wheat Yield Nurseries (ISWYN) 1964-1994
(CIMMYT, 1996)
This publication marks the end of an era; after 30 years, the International Spring Wheat Yield Nursery (ISWYN), flagship of the international yield nurseries, has been discontinued. The ISWYN will be replaced by several ...

Using canopy temperature depression to select for yield potential of wheat in heat stressed environments
(CIMMYT, 1997)
The main objective of the study was to validate the use of canopy temperature depression (CTD) as a rapid early generation screening tool for heat tolerance in wheat. CTD was measured at hot sites in Mexico on F2 derived ...

Breeding resistance to yellow (stripe) rust in wheat
(CIMMYT, 1997)
The information contained in this paper is a precis of the PhD thesis of Dr. H.P. Bimb. Since yellow (stripe) rust has recently reared its head in West and South Asia, the rapid publication of this Wheat Program Special ...

Sustaining wheat yields with crop management in heat stressed environments: effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers, mulching, and irrigation frequency
(CIMMYT, 1998)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) emend. Thell) yield reduction associated with heat strees is a worldwide problem. The objectives of this research were to (i) to determine effects of major crop management factors on performance ...

CIMMYT/NARS Consultancy on ME1 bread wheat breeding: 4-7 April, 1995 Cd. Obregon, Sonora, Mexico
(CIMMYT, 1995)
Through the mechanism of internally managed external reviews (IMERS), all activities of the Wheat Program were reviewed in the period 1990-1994. In general, this was a satisfactory exercise, except that we felt NARS input ...

Wheat breeders' perspectives on genetic diversity and germplasm use: findings from an international survey
(CIMMYT, 1996)
Although there is much debate about the role of scientific plant breeding in the possible reduction of genetic diversity in commercially grown crop plants, few studies have recorded breeders' actual use of materials and ...
