Book Synopsis Ecuador and the CGIAR Centers by : Rafael Posada Torres
Download or read book Ecuador and the CGIAR Centers written by Rafael Posada Torres and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report begins with a review of the principal macroeconomic features affecting Ecuador's agricultural sector and of the institutional system for the generation and dissemination of agricultural technology. It presents an historical summary of the development of Ecuador's national agricultural research system, the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agropecuarias (INIAP), which was created in 1959 and carried out more than 14,000 trials and delivered 98 varieties of various crops to farmers. The core of this report begins with a description of the existing constraints on better interaction between the national research system and the international centers. The report goes on to describe the major types of interactions that have taken place in Ecuador, which include the exchange of genetic material; the exchange of information; personnel training; advisory assistance by scientific personnel; and equipment and financing. A product-by-product analysis of the relationships between the national program and the corresponding international centers focuses on potatoes, wheat, rice, maize, beans and other legumes, pastures and livestock, sorghum and other oil crops and cassava.

Book Synopsis Partners in Research by : Grant McDonald Scobie
Download or read book Partners in Research written by Grant McDonald Scobie and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of neglect, the agricultural sector in many countries of Latin America is receiving renewed attention. As part of this, the establishment and consolidation in Latin America of three international centers funded through the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) account for a small but significant part of the growth in agricultural research. The importance of the centers lies not in the additional funding they bring, but rather in their collaboration with national research programs. There is increasing evidence that these centers have helped to expand the capacity of many national programs, especially in the numerous smaller countries. Their sustained funding, apolitical nature and international scientific linkages have added an important dimension to the region's own enhanced capacity for agricultural research. The accelerated growth in the yields and output of staple foods in Latin America achieved over the past decade is striking testimony to the strengthened national research programs which are receiving, testing, adapting and releasing technologies developed through their collaboration with international centers.
Book Synopsis The International Agricultural Research Centers by : Robert Eugene Evenson
Download or read book The International Agricultural Research Centers written by Robert Eugene Evenson and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since CGIAR centers have been in existence for a number of years, this paper addresses the impact of these centers on national research and extension programs and crop productivity. The study estimates that the CGIAR Centers have had a positive impact on investment in national research programs in each of the crops for which CGIAR crop programs exist except cassava. Estimates for livestock and horticultural crop research programs show a significant positive CGIAR impact as well. National extension spending is also stimulated by CGIAR programs. These estimates are based on an econometric specification that takes into account the impact of several economic development aid initiatives in addition to the activities of the CGIAR impacts. The study estimates that CGIAR Center programs have had significant impacts on crop productivity for maize, millets, sorghum, rice, wheat, beans, cassava and potatoes in all the regions studied. National research programs have had a positive impact on crop productivity in most of these crops as well. In addition, national extension programs have been productive in some crops. These estimates are based on crop production data in 25 countries.

This book was released on 2016-04-27 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses trends in investments, human resource capacity, and research outputs in agricultural R&D—excluding the private (for-profit) sector—in LAC. It is an update of Stads and Beintema (2009), covering a more complete set of countries and focusing primarily on developments during 2006–2012/2013.1 The analysis draws largely from a set of country factsheets prepared by Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI), which is led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), using comprehensive datasets derived from primary surveys and additional secondary sources targeting close to 700 agencies in 27 LAC countries.

Book Synopsis Plant Quarantine and the International Transfer of Germplasm by : Donald L. Plucknett
Download or read book Plant Quarantine and the International Transfer of Germplasm written by Donald L. Plucknett and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the history of quarantine services, discusses principles for successful quarantine operations and identifies major constraints to the exchange of plant materials due to quarantine restrictions and procedures. It also explores some of the difficulties faced by quarantine services, plant breeders, and genebank curators in attempting to detect diseases or pests and clean up seeds and vegetative materials. The paper examines disease and pest screening techniques, with an emphasis on emerging biotechnologies that are revolutionizing diagnostic and clean up work for plant germplasm. It underscores the importance of intermediate quarantine, particularly for tropical cash crops. Finally, the paper analyzes ways to strengthen quarantine services worldwide so that crop improvement programs can operate more efficiently and effectively.
