OAR@ICRISATRegional collaboration for research impact: the case for SADC regional development and adaptability of improved sorghum and pearl millet varietiesM AMgonjaauthorE SMonyoauthorA OObilanaauthorD DRohrbachauthorDMurambadoroauthorCMpandeauthorRecent analyses on the adaptation of sorghum and pearl millet varieties in southern Africa provide scientific justification for strengthening regional collaboration in breeding. Patterns of varietal release in the region led ICRISAT to initiate a statistical analysis of zones of adaptation of sorghum and pearl millet germplasm using a spatial characterization tool and GIS technology. Maps were developed that delineate regional adaptation of sorghum varieties Macia, ICSV 112, sV 3 and SV 4, and pearl millet varieties PMV 3 and Okashana 1. This work is briefly described and related to the efficiency in regional crop improvement strategies.Millets2002International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid TropicsArticle
