Rural livelihoods in marginal environments improved. Wheat genetic resources for marginal environments are available. Intermediate goal Indicators Assumptions and risks Develop and disseminate superior wheat and triticale germplasm, in conjunction with crop management technologies, appropriate for abiotic stress environments of developing countries. Adoption of improved wheat and triticale germplasm in developing country areas subject to abiotic stress. Adoption of improved crop management technologies.
Resources continue to be available for the development of improved germplasm.
Improved wheat and triticale germplasm available for researchers and farmers in developing countries. Outputs Indicators Assumptions and risks 1. New sources of drought adaptive traits identified and incorporated into currently adapted germplasm. Germplasm that performs better under different management technologies, such as reduced tillage, and suitable residue retention. New sources of adaptation for heat and cold tolerance identified, incorporated into adapted germplasm, and disseminated to NARS collaborators.
