The facilities are built up at ICARDA for training in seed production and adequate seed production facilities are now available for training of seed production staff from the region. Processing Center's building is being extended to be able to accommodate the small scale seed cleaning machines. Important development of the project in 1989 is an inclusion of a seed unit in ICARDA's strategic plan. Training activities in seed production carried out in ICARDA region are summarized. The training covers field inspection, morphological variety description and maintenance breeding, seed technology, seed testing, and seed processing and storage.
