This experiments were established with different rates of nitrogen in order to generate a wide range of values for NDVI and grain yield in order to develop a calibration model for the GreenSeeker in Yaqui Valley.

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...

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...

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...

For this study, 201 consumers from Touba Senegal, were invited to evaluated four new flour products in comparison with the conventional pearl millet flours: instant pearl millet flour, instant pearl millet flour pearl millet flour, instant pearl millet flour with added dry mango and carrot powder (Food-to-Food fortification), and the previous product...

The economically important post flowering stalk rot (PFSR) disease of maize known as Fusarium stalk rot (FSR) is caused by Fusarium verticillioides. A genome wide association study (GWAS) was conducted with 342 maize lines for identification and validation of genomic regions associated with FSR resistance. The genotypic and phenotypic data used for the...

In this study 220 urban consumers of Eldoret were asked i) about socioeconomic characteristics and nutritional knowledge, ii) evaluate five flours with two preparations using affective tests, iii) to provide willingness-to-pay for the five flours using with experimental auctions. The data contain a set for each of the three objectives. The first data set...

For this study, 296 consumers from Dakar, Senegal, were invited to evaluated five pearl millet flours: (a) conventional, compared to four instant-porridge flour products; (b) sifted; (c) wholegrain; (d) sifted with premix; (e) wholegrain with micronutrient premix and food-to-food fortified (FtFF). Consumers' acceptance was measured with affective tests,...

The efficiency of genomic selection methodologies can be increased by sparse testing where a subset of materials are evaluated in different environments. Seven different multi-environment plant breeding datasets were used to evaluate four different methods for allocating lines to environments in a multi-trait genomic prediction problem. The results of the...

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 South Asia and similar agro-ecological zones. Following a rigorous trialing and a stage-gate advancement process culminating in the...

Genomic prediction (GP) can be used in the breeding of polysomic polyploid plant species. Different models can be used to generate the genomic prediction including single trait and multi-trait models. The data provided in this dataset were used to investigate the accuracy of four different genomic prediction models use for several traits in potato. The...

A large database of individual farmer field data (n = 4,107) for rice production in the Northwestern Indo- Gangetic Plains of India was used to decompose rice yield gaps and to investigate the scope to reduce nitrogen (N) inputs without compromising yields. Stochastic frontier analysis was used to disentangle efficiency and resource yield gaps, whereas...

A field study was framed in rice crop under conservation agriculture (CA) based rice-wheat system at experimental farm of Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA)-CIMMYT, Ladhowal, Punjab, India during kharif 2019. In the present study, nine treatments were imposed out of which four are CA-based treatments (ZT-N0, ZT-N50, ZT-N75 and ZT-N100), four are CA...

Asia. Conventional tillage-based and flood irrigated puddled transplanted rice (PTR) is a major contributor to faster depleting aquifers. Urgent actions are therefore warranted to develop alternate productive, profitable, water and N-use efficient rice production practices for rice-wheat (RW) cropping system. Conservation agriculture (CA) based...

This data set presents the results of 121 focus group discussions with men and women, in randomly selected communities, therefore representative of the six major maize agroecological zones in Kenya. Topics include biotic and abiotic stresses, in particular storage pests, maize lethal necrose disease, fall army worm and drought. Communities were asked what...
