AFRICATS keeps on growing

Africats keeps on growing. This week another 60 stations dedicated to evaluating germplasm in Africa, in this case wheat (, were added to the database and dynamic maps. They are part of IWIN (International Wheat Improvement Network)and results of the evaluation trials can be accessed online through the IWIS (International Wheat Information System) of CIMMYT. As many countries in Africa are interested in growing wheat due to high expenditures for imports access to information on performance and exchange of germplasm in a wide range of ecologies will be crucial. We hope to contribute to this through this website and the offered tools and data. The Africats team is planing to be adding more stations in the near future covering more crops and larger areas and populations in Africa.
