Peanut varietal improvement for Thailand and the Philippines
Approach
Dr. Ron Gibbons, head of the groundnut improvement program at ICRISAT and member of the Peanut CRSP board of directors, served as cooperator for NCS/BCP in both countries. ICRISAT provided technical advice, made germplasm available and assisted in the training of both Thai and Filipino scientists.
The goal of this project was to aid in the establishment of peanut breeding-pathology-agronomy programs in Thailand and the Philippines capable of developing and utilizing varieties that produce high yields under the cropping systems of Southeast Asia.
