The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) is an
internationally funded, non-profit scientific research and training organization.
Headquartered in Mexico, the Center works with agricultural research institutions
worldwide to improve the productivity and sustainability of maize and wheat systems
for resource-poor farmers in developing countries. It is one of 16 similar centers
supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research
(CGIAR). The CGIAR comprises over 50 partner countries, international and regional
organizations, and private foundations. It is co-sponsored by the Food and

Accuracy of information: The information in this publication is based on results
available at the time of publication. This does not exclude that the germplasm may
perform differently if grown at other sites, or under different conditions.
Plant breeders’ rights: Germplasm developed by CIMMYT is made freely available
for any agricultural research or breeding purposes. Prior to the release,
commercialization, or application for any form of IPR on CIMMYT germplasm or
related information, written permission from CIMMYT must be obtained. Germplasm
developed by institutions other than CIMMYT (private seed companies, National
Agricultural Research Programs) are subject to restrictions imposed by those
institutions on their germplasm. Evaluation of germplasm by CIMMYT does not imply
endorsement or recommendation.
