Objective 2

Enhance Groundnut Productivity and Production in Mali

Realize productivity gains of 20% (over local varieties, and 10% over best improved)

10

Activity 2.1. Trait Discovery Pipeline – IER breeding programs regularly provide well-adapted and market-preferred improved groundnut cultivars to the farmers as per their requirements

11

• Available SNP markers information generated by ICRISAT Center of Excellence for Genomics (CEG) on ELS at Patancheru, India will be exploited.

• Also, Link will be established with IER biotechnology lab based at Sotuba, Bamako.

• Parental lines used in the crossing bloc to develop mapping population for tolerance to ELS will be genotyped.

12

• Two handheld devices will be purchased and used for data capturing. Two computers (Laptop and desktop) will be purchased for IER groundnut improvement program, Kayes, Mali.

• Breeding Management System (BMS) software (3.09) will be installed on both those computers and used for pedigree and data management .

• Short training on the use of BMS and hand held device will be provided for technicians and breeders between March & June 2016 at IER, Kayes.

13

Activity 2.2: Breeding Pipeline - IER using improved groundnut breeding lines for developing better varieties

14

• Irrigation facilities have been installed for off season activities including hybridization, generation’s advancements and seeds production.

• Three medium duration varieties tolerant to ELS (ICGV 01276, ICGV 99029 and ICG 7878) have been collected from ICRISAT, Bamako and artificial hybridization bloc has been conducted in 2015 offseason for ELS introgression in three farmers preferred varieties background (JL 24, Fleur 11 and ICIAR 19BT).

• F1 generation has been harvested and hybrids confirmation test will be conducted in rainy season before starting backcrossing to develop Mapping population.

15

• Some 81 lines from ICRISAT, Bamako have been evaluated for ELS and drought in preliminary trial at the research station of Samé, Kayes in 2015.

• About 30 lines were selected for advanced trials during the rainy season 2016.

• At least 12 medium duration lines with tolerance to ELS will be identified for inclusion in advanced multi-locations yield trials in 2017.

16

Activity 2.3: Testing for Release – IER regularly releasing superior groundnut cultivars

17

• 14 advanced lines with tolerance to Groundnut rosette disease;

• 35 advanced lines with tolerance to aflatoxin contamination and foliar diseases;

• 20 advanced lines for earliness and foliar diseases;

• 20 advanced lines with tolerance to drought and foliar disease

• Those lines have been evaluated at the station of Samé in 2015/16 for selecting lines to be tested in farmers fields for release.

18

• From the above trials in 2016:

10 high yielding breeding lines with tolerance to drought and ELS will be tested in 4 regions (Kayes, Koulikoro, Segou and Mopti) using RCBD with 3 replications

10 early maturing lines will be evaluated in national varieties trials at 6 locations (ségou, Diema, Kolokani, Kita, Bougouni and Djenne) in 2016/17 using RCBD with 3 replications.

•

19

• 6 lines will be tested in FPVS trials at 60 Sites in 4 regions (Kayes, Koulikoro, Sikasso and Ségou) x 5 villages x 3 FPVS trials) using RCBD with 3 replications.

• 7 released varieties will be assessed for nutritional profiling.

20

• Activity 2.4: Best Bet Varieties - Farmers using improved groundnut cultivars and ICM practices and realising higher yields

21

• A total of 40 demonstrations (0.25 ha) on 4 varieties (Fleur 11, ICGV 86 124, ICGV 86015 and ICGV 86024) will be conducted in 4 regions (Kayes, Sikasso, Koulikoro and Mopti). In each region 10 demonstrations will be conducted

• Breeder seed for those varieties are ongoing production on 400 m2 for each variety in offseason at the station of Samé and 12 tons of breeder seed will be produced in the rainy season 2016.

22

Objective 6

Develop Sustainable and Impact-Oriented Legume Seed Systems for Smallholders in Mali

23

Activity 6.1: Establish Multi-Stakeholders Platforms (across legumes if possible)

• One multi stakeholder’s platforms will be established in Kayes area that will include breeders, seed public and private companies, micro finance, farmers association, agro-dealers, processers, policy makers and consumers.

• 30 members of the platform (20 women and 10 men) will be trained on seeds production and business management.
