Pathways to sustainable intensification in Eastern and Southern Africa - Tanzania 2010

Paswel Marenya Menale Kassie Fulgence Mishili (2016, [Dataset])

The survey targeted two maize-legume based farming systems in the eastern and northern zones of Tanzania. In the eastern zone the survey target two districts; Kilosa and Mvomero. While in the northern zone the study focused on Mbulu and Karatu districts. A combination of purposive and stratified sampling methods were used to select the four districts (Karatu, Mbulu, Mvomero and Kilosa) included in this survey. As the project focus is on maize based farming system, maize production used as an important criterion to select districts, wards and villages. A total of 39 wards were sampled. A multi-stage random sampling procedure was used to arrive at a total sample of 65 villages. In each district, wards selected with probability to proportional size. The number of villages selected with probability to proportional size was 60. In every selected village, probability to proportional size sampling was used to identify the households that were interviewed. A total of 701 households were interviewed.

41st International Durum Yield Nursery

Karim Ammar Thomas Payne (2017, [Dataset])

International Durum Yield Nurseries are replicated yield trials designed to measure the yield potential and adaptation of superior CIMMYT-bred spring durum wheat germplasm that have been developed from tests conducted under irrigation and induced stressed cropping conditions in northwest Mexico. These materials have been subjected to numerous diseases (leaf, stem and yellow rust; Septoria tritici blotch) and varied growing environments. It is distributed to 70 locations, and contains 50 entries.

48th International Bread Wheat Screening Nursery MAS data

Susanne Dreisigacker (2017, [Dataset])

The International Bread Wheat Screening Nursery (IBWSN) is designed to rapidly assess a large number of advanced generation (F3-F7) lines of spring bread wheat under Mega-environment 1 (ME1) which represents diversity for a wide range of latitudes, climates, daylengths, fertility conditions, water management, and (most importantly) disease conditions. The distribution of these nurseries is deliberately biased toward the major spring wheat regions of the world where the diseases of wheat are of high incidence. It is distributed to 180 locations and contains 300-450 entries.

9th Harvest Plus Advanced Nursery

Govindan Velu Thomas Payne (2020, [Dataset])

The Harvest Plus Advanced Nursery (HPAN) contains spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) germplasm adapted to ME1 (Optimally Irrigated, low rainfall environment) and ME5 (Warmer area environment) environments. It has 100-200 entries with a single replication, white grain color and distributed to more than 35 locations.

23rd Semi-Arid Wheat Screening Nursery

Ravi Singh Thomas Payne (2019, [Dataset])

The Semi-Arid Wheat Screening Nursery (SAWSN) is a single replicate trial that contains diverse spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) germplasm adapted to low rainfall, drought prone, semi-arid environments typically receiving less than 500 mm of water available during the cropping cycle. CIMMYT's breeding approach attempts to combine high yield potential with drought resistance for ME4. The combination of water-use efficiency and water responsive traits plus yield potential is important in drought environments where rainfall is frequently erratic across years. When rains are significantly above average in certain years, the crop must respond appropriately (water responsive) with higher yields, while expressing resistance to the wider suite of diseases that appear under more favorable conditions. Constrains including leaf, stem and yellow rusts, and Septoria spp., Fusarium spp., Pyrenophora tritici-repentis tan spot, nematodes and root rots must be considered. It is distributed to 120 locations, and contains 150-250 entries.

5th Wheat Yield Collaboration Yield Trial

Matthew Paul Reynolds Thomas Payne (2020, [Dataset])

The WYCYT international nurseries are the result of research conducted to raise the yield potential of spring wheat through the strategic crossing of physiological traits related to source and sink potential in wheat. These trials have been phenotyped in the major wheat-growing mega environments through the International Wheat Improvement Network (IWIN) and the Cereal System Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) network, which included a total of 136 environments (site-year combinations) in major spring wheat-growing countries such as Bangladesh, China, Egypt, India, Iran, Mexico, Nepal, and Pakistan.
