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.

International Durum Screening Nursery (IDSN) distributes diverse CIMMYT-bred spring durum wheat germplasm adapted to irrigated and variable moisture stressed environments. Disease resistance and high industrial pasta quality are essential traits possessed in this germplasm. It is distributed to 100 locations, and contains 150 entries.
APS consists of household- and plot-level data on 336 households in maize-growing areas of Jimma and Bako zones. This dataset consists of information about characteristics, agronomic history, input and management of the focal plot. dataset variables observations focal_plot_merged 65 336 input_focal 18 822 other_management_focal 13 4032 planting_focal 11 339 crop_residue_focal 10 3696 agronomic history 18 3360 There are two linked household datasets, on Belg and Meher production Note that dates are in the Ethiopian calendar. see, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_calendar"

This dataset contains observations from 478 households interviewed in 2011 and 2012 as part of a study titled “Market segmentation strategies for the dissemination of new agricultural production technologies in India.” The data were collected as part of a demand elicitation exercise and randomized control trial of custom-hired laser land leveling services provided to study participants. The study was conducted in the Maharajganj, Gorakhpur, and Deoria districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh, India under the auspices of the Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA). These three districts represent the regional spectrum of productivity in rice–wheat cropping systems. From each district, eight villages were randomly selected from a population of villages that met specific criteria set forth in the publications noted above. In addition to household data on the study participants, the dataset contains information on 926 plots cultivated by the study participants. Aside from household survey data, this study also contains data from village, social network, and monitoring surveys.
These data collected by household survey and from secondary sources of Bangladesh, Bihar, Nepal and West Bengal for the review of the ongoing policies and programmes for mechanization in the EGP. Since 2000, policies and programmes for agricultural development in EGP, have been trying to address the challenges of stagnating productivity of crops and decreasing agricultural growth. Mechanization has been recognized as a core area of intervention by these policies and programmes for addressing these challenges. From the collected data, IFPRI (2016) generated a report titled as “Mechanization in Eastern Gangetic Plains (EGP): A Review of Policies and Programmes with a focus on Indian EGP”, Report submitted to Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, Canberra under the Objective 3; Activity 3.6.2 of SRFSI project AUS aid (ACIAR & DFAT) funded and CIMMYT lead implemented by NARES in EGP.
Assistance received from DAE, BARI, and RDRS in Bangladesh; ICAR, BAU, UBKV, DoA-WB, Shakhi and JEEViKA in India, NARC and DoA in Nepal and community-based organizations (CBOs) in the region are thankfully acknowledged. The support received from CSIRO, Curtin University, University of Queensland, the University of New England in Australia; iDE Nepal; IRRI, IWMI, and IFPRI are greatly appreciated. We thank the farmers, service providers, machinery dealers of EGPs for their co-operation and inputs in implementing on-farm trials. A tremendous progress has been made in achieving milestones/outputs set in the proposal. This level of achievements would not have been possible without collaborators and other stakeholders dedicated supports. Thanks, are also due to Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and the Department of Foreign Affair and Trade (DFAT) for the support of CASI technology development and delivery in the EGPs. This research synthesis report is an output from a collaborative regional multi-partnership project managed by CIMMYT with the ACIAR and DFAT funding for the benefit of developing countries (CSE/2011/077).
