Varietal Adaptation, Participatory Breeding and Plant Type
2007The need for adaptation to environments is modified by a need to yield well across a range of seasons and changing microenvironments that can lead to large genotype environment interactions. These interactions may be linked to specific physiological or other traits of the plant which are under genetic control and may be understood.

Advantages and Cost of Participatory Plant Breeding
2019Participatory plant breeding overcomes the limitations of classical plant breeding since it treats the farmers as partners and allows them to decide which varieties are more appropriate for them by having a better say in the selection progress. This breeding methodology is highly desirable in situations where farmers are generally less served by formal

Experimental Agriculture, 2005
In this paper we attempt to remove the dichotomy created by distinguishing between participatory and non-participatory breeding programmes by using the degree of client orientation as the basis for an analysis. Although all breeding programmes are implicitly client-oriented, we examine how participatory approaches explicitly increase the extent of ...

Linking participatory plant breeding to the seed supply system
Euphytica, 2007There is a strong link between formal plant breeding and seed supply. In developed countries, it was the emergence of systematic plant breeding that generated new named varieties and stimulated organized seed multiplication and marketing by commercial companies.

Participatory plant breeding with maize in Mexico and Honduras
Euphytica, 2001Maize is a staple food crop in many developing countries. However, if seven major maize producing countries are excluded from this group, data indicate that only 34% of the maize area is planted with improved seed despite considerable effort invested in maize breeding.

ABSTRACTDecentralized participatory plant breeding (PPB) is a method for creating new varieties adapted to agroecology based systems. Selection is decentralized in the target environments and relies on collaboration between farmers, Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and researchers.

Farmers as breeders: Participatory plant breeding
2016This working paper provides an overview of the state of participatory plant breeding (PPB). PPB involves various stakeholders in the process of plant breeding, which most often allows farmers input into the plant breeding process generally controlled by formal intuitions.

Participatory Plant Breeding in Smallholder Farming System
Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB) is a collaborative technique that involves farmers, scientists, and extension workers in crop development. Unlike traditional breeding programs conducted at research stations, PPB works directly in farmers' fields under real-world agro-ecological and socioeconomic settings.openaire +1 more source
