Paramount among the project goals is the information flow to beneficiaries. Various pathways were used to share information, methodologies and outputs among the stakeholders. This was achieved through hosting workshops, annual planning sessions, progress reports, user-friendly brochures and flyers; on-farm and on station fields days, farmer-to-farmer visits; radio and television coverage. Stakeholder meetings ICRISAT organized in-country project inception workshops in 2007 in Mali, Niger and Nigeria. Participants included representatives of the national agricultural research and extension systems (NARES), ICRISAT, farmers and farmers’ organizations, groundnut traders and processors, private seed companies and journalists. In Mali, 47 participants (41 men and 6 women) attended the workshop. In Niger, 37 (25 men and 12 women) and in Nigeria, 45 (all men) attended. Similar numbers participated in subsequent annual in-country meetings. On-farm visits were carried out by project staff from the NARES and ICRISAT on a regular basis to monitor progress, advise, train farmers and other stakeholders in the best practices to enhance groundnut productivity. In the 2008 season, at least two field days were held in each project site. Both women and men attended these field days. On average 30-200 persons participated in these open field days each year. At one such field day in Nigeria, high ranking officials of the government of Kano state attended. The event was well covered on state television. At ICRISAT-Bamako, three open house field days targeting a range of clientele (farmers, researchers, development partners and the private sector) were organized at the ICRISAT research station in Mali. Overall over 600 persons attended these field days and were aired on the local radio and television. Through such mechanisms, requests for seed of new varieties are on the increase. In 2009, annual review and planning meetings were organized in each partner country to discuss progress of the project, on-farm and on-station trial designs and implementation. On-farm visits and field days are being organized in the current cropping season. 70 Engaging Smallholder Farmers | Tropical Legumes II Project
During 2010 cropping season, ICRISAT-Mali organized a field day for stakeholders on 28 October 2010 at the Samanko Research Station. A total of 200 visitors (69 women and 131 men) including farmers from the various locations where PVS trials were conducted, representatives of farmers organizations, NGOs and development partners were exposed to 24 new trait-specific {(tolerant/resistant to : foliar diseases, aflatoxin contamination, groundnut rosette, drought) and confectionery} varieties sown in demonstration plots. This visit was also aired on local television and radio, thus reaching a wider audience. IER-Mali organized an on-farm field day at Sadiola and 94 farmers participated. An on-station field day at Same, chaired by the regional governor attracted 150 participants. During all these events the participants were familiarized with new varieties and other productivity enhancing technologies. A documentary film of 20 minutes was prepared in Niger based on the activities in the pilot sites to raise stakeholders’ awareness of newly released varieties. This is expected to reach a wider audience. In Nigeria, six field days/farmer meetings were held at the eight demonstration trial sites and one at Samaru before harvest. A total of 932 farmers, all men, participated in the field days. The number of participants ranged from 87 to 264 per location. Variety development NARS in WCA lack human resources and infrastructure to execute an efficient groundnut breeding program. These weaknesses have limited the flow of improved varieties and farmers continue to grow old varieties that were developed or introduced more than half a century ago. One of the objectives of this project is to enhance capacity of some of the NARS to breed groundnuts with multiple attributes. To this effect ICRISAT has supplied more than 600 diverse genetic materials from which to select adapted farmer-and market preferred varieties. Staff to manage the breeding programs was offered hands-on training in breeding principles and how to manage a breeding program including priority skills such as hybridization, data capture and analysis. The new materials have stimulated rejuvenated breeding activities of the participating NARS who have initiated national variety trials in the target ecologies. Variety trials Mali In 2008 IER received 77 traits specific advanced breeding lines (15 drought tolerant, 15 medium maturity, 15 early maturing and 32 rosette resistant). These were evaluated in. replicated variety trials (4 row plots of 4 m long) along with local checks. In addition 288 F 7 -F 8 lines with various attributes (resistant to rosette disease and the vector aphid, resistant to early leaf spots and earliness and limited fresh seed dormancy) were supplied as observation nurseries. These were successfully conducted at the IER research station in Kayes. In 2009 IER received 19 new advanced breeding lines resistant to aflatoxin contamination for onstation testing. During the 2010 and 2011 cropping seasons, a series of advanced trials were conducted using the material selected from the observation nurseries and multi-locations on-farm trials involving promising lines from the advance trials. Overall, IER has conducted 22 observation nurseries, 11 preliminary trials, 14 advanced yield trials and 5 on-farm trials. Niger INRAN-Niger, received 45 advanced breeding (15 drought tolerant, 15 medium and 15 early maturing rosette resistant) lines for replicated trials in 2008. The plot sizes and designs were similar to those in Mali. In 2009 ICRISAT-Mali, further supplied 397 breeding lines grouped into various trait-specific nurseries. These were grown at Maradi Research Station. Forty lines from the germplasm supplied in 2008 and 2009 were evaluated at three locations (Tarna, Magaria and Bengou) in 2010. The yield of selected lines ranged from 14 to 42% over the checks. Among these were ICGV–SM 99502, ICGV-SM 99 510 and ICGV-SM Progress of Phase 1 71
