Intermediate goal Indicators Assumptions and risks Wheat production in the region will increase through the development of higher yielding, disease and pest resistant varieties, and sustainable cropping systems. The average wheat yield per hectare in CAC will increase as a result of improved varieties and more appropriate cropping systems. NARSs of CAC have appropriate germplasm and related management technologies. Purpose Indicators Assumptions and risks The national wheat breeding and dissemination activities in CAC countries will be strengthened to enable NARSs to deliver new, more appropriate varieties and cropping practices to farmers. NARSs benefit from improved wheat germplasm and better coordinated regional testing activities.
Farmers benefit from new varieties that have improved resistance to diseases and pests.
NARSs have the capacity to deliver improved germplasm and cropping practices to farmers. Outputs Indicators Assumptions and risks 1. Superior high-latitude spring wheat germplasm targeted to northern Kazakhstan. Regional wheat improvement and genetic resources network established. New high-latitude cultivars adapted to northern Kazakhstan.
