Abstract

Participatory plant breeding (PPB) is a relatively
new approach for germplasm development, which includes
crop improvement and participatory varietal selection (PVS).
In Cuba, PPB started on rice crop in 2001, based upon
centralized PVS at the beginning; however, it was further
participatory and decentralized. This work study was aimed
at presenting the experiences gathered on rice crop, not only
in some regions of Cuba but also over the world. In our
country, diversity fairs constituted the best form for providing
a quick and efficient varietal entry through non-specialized
rice growers�??participation.
