Characterization of the pathogen population structure of bacterial leaf blight of rice in West Africa as a prerequisite for the identification and deployment of durable resistance
Project
Project code: 81103048
Contract period: 01.05.2008
- 30.04.2010
Budget: 60,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Goal: To develop an integrated management program for bacterial leaf blight based on varietal resistance and sound knowledge of the pathogen's population structure in order to contribute to securing stable and high-yielding rice production in smallholder rice farmers' fields. Purpose: To eliminate the information gap that has hampered the use of resistant varieties in an IPM approach for reducing BLB impact under African conditions.
