The eighth International Pearl Millet Adaptation Trial (IPMAT 8), 1983
1985
The eighth International Pearl Millet Adaptation Trial (IPMAT 8) containing 22 entries (hybrids and open-pollinated varieties) was sent to cooperators at 21 locations in three countries, and results were received from 19 locations in three countries, at latitudes from 9 deg 12' N to 30 deg 56' N. Data were recorded, by the cooperators, on the performance of the entries (grain yield, time to bloom, plant height, and disease incidence), and on monthly rainfall during the crop growth period. This report presents the data from the individual locations, and summarises the across-location performance of the entries. The top five entries over all locations consisted of three hybrids and two open-pollinated varieties: IVC-P8004 (ICMV 81111), MBH 137, ICH 448, UCH 10 and ICMS 8010. Unusually, the top-performing entry was a variety and not a hybrid
