![Pre- and Classical Breeding ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],2. Utilization of small number of local varieties to initiate classical breeding (1) - Mainly driven by overcoming fertility barriers 3. PITA and BITA have good potentials -High yield -Tolerance to BS -Nutrient contents 4. Local landraces continue to be preferred -Susceptible to pests and diseases -Poor root system -Very low yield](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Update on West Africa:Banana and Plantain Program
- 1. Update on West Africa Banana and Plantain Program 1. Classical breeding 3. Agronomy 2. Pre-breeding -Old and new germplasm -Program restructuring -Variety registration -Chromosome doubling -Hormone treatment -Production map -Yield prediction -Density testing -Seedling production in vitro culture Molecular genetics Cytogenetics
- 3. Germplasm for Breeding -Landraces, hybrids and wild species -PITA and BITA series put back in breeding scheme -New materials being acquired from other breeding programs -Creation of new breeding blocks
- 5. Country specific aspects 1. Nigeria -Moved away from Onne Station (South East Nigeria) -Activities concentrated in Ibadan -National partners and networks maintained -Variety registration with NIHORT. Variety description catalog available -Two projects ongoing -One national project developed (IITA, NIHORT, NAGRAB, NABDA) 2. Ivory Coast -Collaboration with national partners [CNRA and Universities] -One breeding block created. A Field Technician hired. -6 project ideas in development (including one on banana-plantain) -Ivory Coast chosen by ECOWAS and the World Bank as the center of specialization for plantain with spill over in other ECOWAS countries [Second phase of the West Africa Agricultural Productivity Program (WAAPP) ] 3. Ghana -The Crop Research Institute (CRI) has designated A responsible for Plantain (Michael Kwabena Osei). -In the course of developing a national project. 4. Liberia: In touch with Liberian Colleagues. Problem is baseline data
