Technical training on the treatment of seeds; the organization and the management of harvest data

To respond to the need for better knowledge on seed processing and conservation techniques, as well as on data gathering, management and publication, training sessions have been provided to the staff…

Increasing utilization of cowpea genetic resources by breeding programmes and farmers in Ghana

Breeding activities aimed at addressing biotic and abiotic constraints have reached advanced stages: 180 advanced breeding lines have been tested to select superior adapted lines; the…

Survey methodology training on existing yam diversity and farmers' preferences for yam breeders

Recognizing stakeholders' need for a better knowledge of the existing diversity at farmers’ level, as well as of farmers’ preferences for yam, LAAPT has provided on-the-job training and technical…

Increasing farmers' and breeders' access to conserved diversity of pearl millet and sorghum in Ghana

This project involved the collection of diversity in geographical gaps. These accessions were characterised morphologically and genotyped when possible. Field days were organised to allow farmers to…

Pilot project on pre-breeding and evaluation of sunflower and its wild relatives

This project collected and analyzed nearly 300 wild Helianthus samples. It also evaluated 55 previously developed pre-bred lines. Of these 55, many accessions showed significant variation from each…

This project involved the collection of diversity in geographical gaps. These accessions were characterised morphologically and genotyped when possible. Field days were organised to allow farmers to…

Increasing farmers' and breeders' access to yam diversity in Ghana

This project included a survey of the yam producing areas and the gathering of information regarding existing yam diversity and farmers' preferences; advisory support on the survey methodology was…

Increasing farmers' and breeders' access to yam diversity in Togo

The Institut Togolais de Recherche Agronomique (ITRA), in collaboration with the Laboratoire d’Agrobiodiversité et Amélioration des Plantes Tropicales (LAPPT), surveyed the yam producing areas and…

Enhancing utilization of crop wild relatives: Capturing genetic value from ancestral populations of wild rice

This rice pre-breeding project generated four information products, organizing five categories of data, in addition to the rice germplasm itself. Nearly 300 accessions of rice were genotyped and…
