ICRISAT- MYANMAR Partnership by Department of Agricultural Research- Myanmar

  1. ICRISAT and DAR International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and Department of Agricultural Research (DAR) Yezin,Myanmar
  2. ICRISAT and Agricultural Cooperation, Myanmar began relationship in 1976, was strengthened by the participation of Myanmar Scientists in the Cereals and Legumes Asia Network (CLAN) led by ICRISAT The first signed a Memorandum of Understanding was in 1986 ICRISAT- MYANMAR Partnership Yezin,Myanmar
  3.  Strengthen crop improvement  Natural Resources management  Building the national research capacity of Myanmar through training of agricultural scientists and technicians Research Collaboration Yezin,Myanmar
  4. Research Collaboration Crop Accessions Chickpea 5305 Pigeonpea 2506 Groundnut 4369 Sorghum 2500 Pearl Millet 230 Germplasm and Breeding Material Supplied, 1986 - 2017 Yezin,Myanmar
  5. Varieties released Crop No of Varieties Chickpea 10 varieties Yezin 1 (P 436), Yezin 2 (JG 62), Yezin 3 (ICCV 2), Yezin 4 (ICCV 88202), Yezin 5 (ICCV 3), Yezin 6 (ICCV 92944), Yezin 8 (ICCV 97314), Yezin 11 (ICCV 01309), Yezin 12 (ICCV 07118), Yezin 13 (ICCV 07308) Pigeonpea 6 varieties Yezin-1 (HPA-1), Yezin-2 (BR-172), Yezin-3 (ICPL 87), Yezin-4 (ICPL 93003),Yezin-5 (ICPL 87119) Yezin-6 (ICPL 96061) Groundnut 5 varieties Sinpadetha 5 (ICGV 87160), Sin 7 ( ICGV 93382), Sin 8 (ICGV 94301), Sin 9 (ICGV 94361), SIN 10 (ICGV 91167) Sorghum 9 varieties Shwe ni 1, Shwe ni 2, Yezin 1, Yezin 2, Yezin 3, Yezin 4, Yezin 5, Yezin 6 and Yezin 7 Yezin,Myanmar
  6.  DAR and ICRISAT research collaboration have the greatest impact in Chickpea breeding  ICRISAT has so far supplied Chickpea 5300 breeding materials  Production increased 8 times, Sown area increased 4 times and Yield increased 2 times Chickpea production data in 2017-18 suggests that 96% of the chickpea area was under the five improved varieties developed through ICRISAT-DAR partnership research – 1. Yezin 3 (ICCV 2) 36%, 2. Yezin 4 (ICCV 88202) 14%, 3. Yezin 6 (ICCV 92944) 28%, 4. Yezin 8 (ICCV 97314) 17% and 5. Yezin 11 (ICCV 01309) 1% Myanmar’s chickpea production has grown exponentially in the past two decades (prepared by PMGaur)
  7. New Innovations introduced  Farmer Participatory Research  Concept of Village-level Seed Bank was initiated during 2008 Yezin,Myanmar
  8. Capacity Building  ICRISAT trained 131 researchers (including 67 women) in the past nearly forty years  Most participants were trained on the improvement of legumes crops and sorghum  Three graduate students also carried out thesis research (two master’s program and one PhD) under the guidance of ICRISAT scientists  Additionally, two in- country training courses were conducted in Myanmar by ICRISAT’s scientists on grain legumes improvement and IPM Yezin,Myanmar
  9. Capacity Building  Literature Seed production manuals Plant Protection booklets Crop production bulletins Post Harvest (PICS Bags) Pheromone Traps, Pulverizers Yezin,Myanmar
  10. Future strategies for ICRISAT-DAR collaboration in research and development • Establishing modern pulses breeding programs at DAR. Includes  Molecular breeding  Rapid generation turnover  Use of breeding management system • Development of cultivars with new/enhanced traits desired by farmers, consumers and industry (Product profile research) • Innovative approaches for enhancing adoption of improved cultivars and production technologies • Smart food program on pigeonpea, millet and sorghum • Market analysis research on pulses Yezin,Myanmar
