Participatory varietal selection: Improved varieties of chickpea for rainfed conditions in Western India
The centralised plant breeding techniques of the green revolution have yielded good results in the more favourable agricultural environments. However, most low-resource farmers in marginal areas have not benefited from these varieties. As an alternative to centralised breeding, farmer participatory approaches using Participatory Varietal Selection (PVS) and Participatory Plant Breeding...
