Development of Early Maturing, High Yielding Varieties of Maize through Participatory Plant Breeding

摘要：

A client-oriented collaborative research programme was started at BAU, Ranchi Jharkhand, India to develop high yielding, early maturing varieties of maize. Farmers were involved in the setting of goals for the breeding programme and in the selection of material very early in the breeding process. BVM-2, an extra early maturing, yellow flint, high quality composite was released for Jharkhand and notified by Govt. of India during 2003～2004. BVM-2, BVM-4-1, BVM- 6, BVM-7, BVM-8 and BVM-9 are other experimental varieties which are doing well in co-ordinated trials, on-farm trials and station trials at BAU and GVT, Ranchi farm.
