29th Semi-Arid Wheat Screening Nursery

Ravi Singh Thomas Payne (2017, [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.

44th 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.

45th 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.

5th 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.

Zero-Tillage adoption and its welfare impacts at the farm household level

Alwin Keil (2016, [Dataset])

The purpose of the study was (1) to assess the performance of ZT wheat as compared to conventional-tillage wheat in farmers' fields in six CSISA target districts in Bihar; (2) to assess farmers’ resource endowment, risk exposure, risk preferences, and risk management practices; (3) based on (2), to identify influencing factors of farmers' awareness and adoption of ZT in wheat, including social network effects.

Sparse designs for genomic selection using multi-environment data

Yoseph Beyene Juan Burgueño Jose Crossa (2020, [Dataset])

This research study the genomic-enabled prediction accuracy of the composition of the following sparse testing allocation design: (1) all non-overlapping (0 overlapping) lines in environments, (2) all overlapping (0 non-overlapping) lines tested in all the environments, and (3) combinations of the two previous cases where certain numbers of non-overlapping (NO)/overlapping (O) lines were distributed in the environments. We also studied cases where the size of the testing population was decreased. The study used two large maize data sets (T1 and T2). Four different genomic-enabled prediction models were studied, two models (M1 and M2) that do not include the genomic × environment interaction (GE), whereas models M3 and M4 incorporate two forms of modeling GE. The results show that genome-based models including GE (M3 and M4) captured more genetic variability with the GE component than the other models for both data sets. Also, models M3 and M4 provide higher prediction accuracy than models M1 and M2 for the different allocation designs comprising different combinations of NO/O lines in environments. Results indicate that substantial savings of testing resources can be achieved by optimizing the allocation design using genome-based models including genomic × environment interaction.

27th Elite Selection Wheat Yield Trial

Ravi Singh Thomas Payne (2019, [Dataset])

The Elite Selection Wheat Yield Trial (ESWYT) is a replicated yield trial that contains spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) germplasm adapted to Mega-environment 1 (ME1) which represents the optimally irrigated, low rainfall areas. Major stresses include leaf, stem and yellow rusts, Karnal bunt, and lodging. Representative areas include the Gangetic Valley (India), the Indus Valley (Pakistan), the Nile Valley (Egypt), irrigated river valleys in parts of China (e.g. Chengdu), and the Yaqui Valley (Mexico). This ME encompasses 36 million hectares spread primarily over Asia and Africa between 350S -350N latitudes. White (amber)-grained types are preferred by consumers of wheat in the vast majority of the areas. It is distributed to upto 200 locations and contains 50 entries.
