International testing program in wheat, triticale and barley
1979
In 1978-1979, CIMMYT's international testing program included a total of 31 different nurseries for bread and durum wheats, triticale and barley, sent upon request to more than 110 nations for planting in 1700 separate trials. This international testing network is at the heart of CIMMYT's Wheat Program efforts to develop and exchange improved genetic materials carrying the potential for greater yield and higher farm income stability. This publication describes the objectives and operation of international screening nurseries and yield nurseries and assesses their impact. It also discusses the threat posed by national legislation on "Breeder's Rights" to free exchange of germplasm among countries.
