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 ...

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 ...

Scientists in 45 countries throughout the world now participate directly in CIMMYT's international maize progeny, experimental variety and elite experimental variety trials. And, in 1975, CIMMYT staff visited over 40 of ...

CIMMYT's maize program--which in 1974 included 154 separate progeny trials in 22 countries, and 84 experimental variety trials in 35 countries--was begun as a cooperative venture of the Government of Mexico and the Rockefeller ...

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 CIMMYT Wheat Program strives to increase the production of bread wheat, durum wheat, triticale, and barley in developing countries by helping to improve the productivity of the resources used by the millions of Third ...

This 1978-79 report on maize covers the research and training activities of CIMMYT scientists and presents data from international testing program activities during these years. The progress we report is the result of a ...

At this time, the six subprogram reports include bread wheat, durum wheat, triticale, barley, wide crosses and regional activities. These reports will be augmented each year with an in-depth examination of one of the crop ...

The CIMMYT Wheat Improvement Program serves all the major wheat, triticale and barley-producing countries of the developing world. We maintain the widest possible variation in our germplasm so that advanced materials which ...

This report, intended primarily for our scientific cooperators and for maize workers around the world, presents data from CIMMYT maize research, training, and international testing during the years 1980-81. CIMMYT's research ...
