PARTICIPATORY PLANT BREEDING IN WATER-LIMITED ENVIRONMENTS

Experimental Agriculture, 2007
Drought is one of the major factors limiting crop production worldwide. Dry areas are a much less homogeneous population of target environments than areas with high and reliable rainfall. In this paper we argue that a decentralized participatory plant breeding programme can address the complexity of dry areas, characterized by high and repeatable ...
