Participatory Varietal Selection (PVS): a rice breeding approach aimed at the target population
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Participatory Varietal Selection combines the interests of producers and breeders to obtain and adopt promising rice genotypes that respond better to different soil and climatic conditions. The work was carried out in Los Palacios municipality, Pinar del Río Province, Cuba, with the objective to identify the cultivars with greater acceptance and the agronomic criteria of greater consideration from the perspective of the participants. The participatory selection was carried out at the Agrodiversity Fair where 18 cultivars were exposed and researchers from Paraguay and Panama participated, as well as Cuban actors from both sexes linked to the rice productive chain. The cultivars with the greatest acceptance and the most relevant agronomic criteria were identified. The most selected cultivars were Anays LP-14, Nenita LP-25 and Isra LP-24 and the characters most taken into account at the time of the participatory selection were: plant erection, number of panicles/m2, number of grains/panicle, pest resistance and cycle. These activities constitute an excellent space for training and feedback in order to stimulate and strengthen the learning and interaction process of various stakeholders, as well as to accelerate the adoption of cultivars, enrich and maintain the genetic diversity of this crop and at the same time to increase yields.
