“…Breeding of resistant varieties is thus paramount in lablab breeding program. Mother and baby trials on accessions selected by farmers have been reported to foster adoption and dissemination of a crop ( Najeeb et al, 2018 ). Focusing breeding programs and objectives on these farmer-selected accessions will lead to the release and selection of genotypes with farmer preferred traits.…”

Farmer-participatory breeding approach is an important component in the crop improvement of lablab (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet). The study was carried out to obtain the knowledge, practices and preferences of lablab through 31 lablab growing-farmers from Arusha, Kondoa, Karatu, Same and Babati districts of Tanzania toward initiating a lablab breeding program. Semi-structured questionnaires were administered and focused group discussions were held to collect data on the socio-demographic factors, production practices, constraints and farmer’s preferred traits of lablab. Selection of preferred traits and accessions was also done by the farmers in the field. Results showed that the chief constraints of lablab production are pests and diseases, poor marketability, low seed quality, inadequate rainfall, expensive agrochemicals, low yield, and poor storage facilities. The major pests are pod borer (field) and bruchids (storage). Preferred traits for lablab improvement include the development of insect pests and disease-resistant varieties, early maturing, high yield, black colored seed for market, short cooking time, and dense foliage. Genotypes EK2, D360, HA4, and D96 with preferred traits were identified by farmers, which forms critical decisions in crop improvement. This study describes the current view of lablab production and generates the understanding of farmers’ perceptions and preferences vital for breeding priorities and programs to increase its production, utilization and consumption.

“…According to Oad (2002), the plant height, leaf area index, thousand grain weight, panicle length, and growth rate were associated with agronomical and physiological factors that affect rice grain yield. Najeeb et al (2018) and Tester and Langridge (2010) suggested that when choosing rice varieties for commercial cultivation, all of above mentioned traits must be considered to be taken into account. Such primary data can also be useful for choosing rice varieties for future breeding programs.…”

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the first staple crop in terms of area coverage for cultivation and production in Nepal. In rice breeding programs, developing superior genotypes depends on the evaluation of growth and yield parameters. Thus, to detect some of the primary superior genotypes, we evaluated the growth and yield parameters of 24 genotypes of rice in Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal. The rice varieties were planted in an alpha lattice design with three replications. The traits, such as plant height, number of tillers, number of effective tillers, length of panicles, number of panicles per square meter, and grain yield, were found to be highly significant (p=0.05). Sabitri (4.8 t ha-1) and Makwanpur-1 (4.4 t ha-1) were the two rice genotypes that yielded the most. Plant height, panicle length, and grains per panicle showed positive and significant (p=0.05) correlations with grain yield, showing potential genotypes for higher yield. We concluded that, among all 24 genotypes examined, the most promising varieties from a growth and yield perspective were Sabitri and Makwanpur-1.

“…In Manupali of Northern Mindano in Philippine, research institutions have reported that due to FPR project, farmers can minimize soil erosion and increase vegetable production such as tomato (Poudel et al, 2000). In six districts of Khasmir in India, farmers have achieved high rice production and good farm income because they have collaborated with research institutions to conducted participatory action research projects (Najeb et al, 2017).…”

Indonesia government pays little attention to address impending threat of the existences of upland smallholder farmers due to insufficient farm income. This condition poses an imminent threat to national food security. One of the initiatives to address the condition is participatory action research project conducted by Faculty of Forestry UGM with 12 upland smallholder farmers in Wonogiri regency from 2016 to 2018. The result of the participatory action research project showed that although the 12 smallholder farmers practice cropland agroforestry system in marginal land, their increased rice production could improve farm income, be similar in rice field and support national food security. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating lesson-learned of the participatory action research project. This study was conducted on January-March 2020, used participant observation and semi-structure interview methods to collect data from the 12 smallholder farmers. After the collected data were analyzed by descriptive method, this study founded four points of lesson-learned including (1) finding a responsive smallholder farmer group; (2) minimizing negative role of local elite; (3) maximizing positive role of local elite; (4) implementing modified technology package.
