The Fusarium Head Blight Screening Nursery (earlier Scab Resistance Screening Nursery - SRSN) is a single replicate nursery that contains diverse spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) germplasm adapted to ME2 (High rainfall environment) and ME4 (Low rainfall, semi-arid environment) with total 50-100 entries and white/red grain color.
International Durum Yield Nurseries (IDYN) 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.
New and improved maize hybrids, developed by the CIMMYT Global Maize Program, are available for uptake by public and private sector partners, especially those interested in marketing or disseminating hybrid maize seed across Latin America and similar agro-ecological zones. Following a rigorous trialing and a stage-gate advancement process culminating in the 2018 Stage 5 trials, CIMMYT advanced a total of two new elite maize hybrids in Latin America in 2018. These are yellow maize hybrids adapted for the tropical lowlands (Product Profile LA-PP1C). Phenotypic data collected in Stage 4 and Stage 5 trials for the two selected hybrids as well as information about the trial sites are provided in this dataset. These trials were conducted through a network of partners, including NARS and private seed companies, in Latin America under various management and environmental conditions. Nuevos y mejorados híbridos desarrollados por el Programa Global de Maíz del CIMMYT se ponen a disposición de instituciones del sector público y privado, especialmente para aquellas instituciones colaboradoras interesadas en la comercialización y diseminación de semilla de maíz en Latinoamérica o en zonas agroecológicas similares. Después de un riguroso proceso de evaluación de germoplasma en distintas etapas que culminó en ensayos de evaluación de híbridos en etapa cinco, el CIMMYT avanzó dos nuevos híbridos élite en Latinoamérica en 2018. Esos son hibrídos de maíz amarillo adaptados por las tierras bajas tropicales (Perfíl de Producto LA-PP1C). Datos fenotípicos recopilados en los ensayos en etapa cuatro y cinco, además de información sobre los sitios están incluidos en este conjunto de datos. Estos ensayos fueron conducidos bajo diferentes condiciones de manejo y ambientes a través de redes colaborativas con instituciones de investigación pública y empresas semilleras de Latinoamérica.
This file contains the data from a survey conducted with 122 respondents, found drying maize in open air along the roads in the towns and urban centers of major maize growing areas of Kenya (Bungoma, Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu and Nakuru) and Nairobi. Most of them were maize traders, but there were also some farmers and a few millers. They were interviewed on the technical aspects (drying methods, equipment and labor used, volumes handled and duration) and economic aspects (cost of buying and drying maize, buying and selling price) of their maize trading and drying practices. From each participant, two maize samples were taken at the different stages in the drying process (freshly purchased maize, maize in the process of drying, and completely dried maize ready to be shipped) and the moisture content measured.
