Table 1. Skills required of trained tree breeders and barefoot tree breeders for agroforestry species. Trained tree breeder * Studies of breeding systems for selected species * Assistance with taxonomy of selected species * Training in hand pollination techniques * Maintenance of collections from broad geographic area Source: Chuntanaparb and MacDicken, 19§9. Conclusions Farmers are proven breeders of food, fruit and tree crops. This potential source of skill lies generally untapped for the improvement of MPTS. Farmers can and do select tree species for a variety of purposes. Their ability to do so isequivalent to that of trained tree breeders when given the same selection criteria. The methodology outlined in this paper demonstrates how the genetic tree breeder can work with the farmer/barefoot tree breeder to accelerate the improvement of MPTS. It is a methodology which recognizes and combines the knowledge of the scientist and the farmer/practitioner, References Asby, J.A., C.A. Quiros and Y.M. Rivers. 1989.

Table 2. General steps required to effectively combine farmer and forest geneticist skills for MPTS improvement. Required steps Pre-screening What species are appropriate targets for farm-level tree improvement? Has any improvement or selection already been done, either by farmers or tree breeders? What genetic resources are available? On-farm selection and improvement Identify practical, achievable ideotypes of the priority species. Select parent trees for first/next stage of testing. Collect propagules from parent trees. Distribute propagules among core of tree breeders and farmers for planting and evaluation, Farmer/barefoot tree breeder resources Knowledge of species which have significant potential value for local use and for which there exist local genetic resources. Knowledge of locally available trees and "indigenous knowledge" of other farmers, Knowledge of potential mother trees for improvement. Ideas on the type of tree which would best fit local needs and markets. Knowledge of and access to local base populations. Experience in handling of plant materials. Easy access to trees in local area. Access to sites for evaluation of improved materials which are likely to be representative of coaditions for other farmers. Forest geneticist resources Knowledge of species or genetic resources which may meet the expressed needs of farmers, but are unknown to them. Case studies of improvement work from scientific and technical literature. Access to germplasm collections made elsewhere plus knowledge of breeding systems and genetic resources. Knowledge of how attainable the desired ideotype may be. Experience in identifying plus trees based on pro-defined criteria. Knowledge of vegetative propagation which may not be known to local farm -rs. Access to experiment station sites and other trained tree breeders who can provide additional evaluations of selected materials.
