Collaboration leads to progress in reducing degeneration in RTB
This document discusses collaboration to reduce crop degeneration through an integrated approach. National agricultural research systems have adopted an integrated approach using host resistance, on-farm management, and clean seed to reduce crop yield gaps. The approach involves field studies, modeling, trial design, and validation to generate evidence and advocate for partnerships that can continue making progress in reducing degeneration.
