Abstract
Pirira 2 is a pure line developed at ICRISAT Asia Center (IAC) by pedigree selection from a multiple cross involving five parents: IS 12622C, 535, IS 3612C, 2219B, and E 35-1. Pedigree selection in self-pollinated progenies of F2 , F3 , F4 , and F5 was done progressively at IAC and at two other locations. In 1979, the F6 bulk was distributed to several locations worldwide for testing. It was also included in ICRISAT multilocational yield trials along with other materials. Pirira 2 outyielded all other varieties, and was then given to collaborating national programs for further testing and adaptation. The national and collaborative trials were conducted by the Malawi national agricultural research system at Kasinthula and Ngabu Research Stations in the Shire Valley of Malawi, and the Southern African Development Community (SADC)/ICRISAT Sorghum and Millet Improvement Program (SMIP), Bulawayo, Zimbabwe from 1984/85-1992/93.
