PARTICIPATORY PLANT BREEDING IS BETTER DESCRIBED AS HIGHLY CLIENT-ORIENTED PLANT BREEDING. I. FOUR INDICATORS OF CLIENT-ORIENTATION IN PLANT BREEDING

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, 2007
There 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, 2001
Maize 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.

Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling for Flexible Experiments in Decentralized Participatory Plant Breeding

Crop Science, 2015
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

2016
This 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.
