Question numbers in brackets refer to this survey. Country Reports Supporting On-Farm management & improvement of PGRFA (question 2.1) Briefly describe any programme/project/activity with local farmer communities in which your organization participates. Germplasm storage facilities (question 5.3) List the type (short term, medium term, long term, in vitro, cryopreservation, field) and conditions of germplasm storage facilities in use at your organization. Drying facilities/methods Describe how your organization dries seeds. Measuring seed moisture status Do you routinely measure seed moisture status? Describe the method used. Storage containers What containers does your organization use to store seeds? Viability monitoring (question 5.5) Does your organization monitor viability of ex-situ collections? ▪ What method is used? ▪ Please list any species that demonstrate low levels of viability during initial tests. ▪ Please list any species that demonstrate low levels of viability after a period of storage. Constraints (question 5.10) Please comment on priorities, needs and constraints to sustaining existing ex situ collections. Possible solutions to the constraints Briefly describe the solutions you would envisage to solve the problems, in terms of training, support in infrastructure or any other solutions. NGO/CBO Reports Supporting On-Farm management & improvement of PGRFA (question 2.1) Briefly describe any programme/project/activity in which community seed banks/farmers collaborate with local/national genebanks. Seed storage facilities ▪ How do community seed banks/farmers store seeds? ▪ How long are seeds usually stored for? Seed Drying Describe how community seed banks/farmers normally dry seeds.
