New framework for GTD

Why?• So that AVRDC will have more impact worldwide• To improve coordination of technology dissemination

and capacity building activities Center-wide• Donors have raised the stakes

– Creating impact among stakeholders is more important than ever for obtaining donor funding

– Gender balance is becoming increasingly important

GTD’s linkages with the regions have been greater in 2012 than previously

• ESEA:– Supported the AARNET Expert Consultation on Home and Public

Vegetable Gardens by preparing planting instructions for 15 crops; Mandy attended the workshop and gave 2 presentations

– Supporting the Vegetables Go to School project; Greg attended planning workshop and is supporting proposal development

– Supporting SATNET technology submissions• RCSA: interaction & guidance regarding disaster response seed

distribution, proposal with CRS and budget• CWANA: conducted grafting training in Abu Dhabi and Qatar• All four regions: more comprehensive indicator data collection

for donor reports

Training of Trainers in

Bangladesh

Date: 3-5 April 2012

Venue: Regional Agricultural Research Station, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Jessore, Bangladesh

Participants: 34

Objectives: Train a core group of trainers to demonstrate the summer tomato production techniques and its profitability, and successfully expand summer tomato production into new sites

Bangladesh: New summer tomato farmers in Jessore who attended AVRDC/BARI training in May 2012

Outcomes/impacts:• 50 new summer tomato farmers in Jessore successfully

applied the technologies they learned from our training to their first summer tomato production (May - October 2012), 2 decimals (~80m2) per farmer.

Outcomes/impacts:• Each farmer harvested 120-500 kg tomatoes and sold them to

the nearby markets (2-3 km from the fields) for a price of BDT 30-60/kg (USD 0.37-0.74/kg).

• All the new summer tomato farmers were happy with the price and would like to plant summer tomato again at a larger scale (4 to 33 decimals) by their own support next year.

Opportunities:• Around 50-60 neighboring farmers observed the

summer tomato production and inquired about it, and expressed interest in planting summer tomato.

• Many farmers reported that bacterial wilt is emerging in tomato production areas and they would like to plant grafted tomato if grafted seedlings are available.

Training women farmers to establish seedling nursery businesses in Bangladesh Date: 10 and 12 June 2012

Venue: Regional Agricultural Research Station in Jessore & Barishal, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute

Participants: 30

Objectives: To train the women farmers on tomato nursery management and link with summer tomato growers for creating business opportunities

Bangladesh: Women farmers who attended AVRDC/BARI training on grafting and seedling raising in June 2012

Outcomes/impacts:• 15 women farmers in Jessore

successfully applied the tomato grafting technology they learned from our training and set up 3 nurseries.

• One nursery sold 200 grafted seedlings, and another 500 grafted seedlings, in early September for BDT 6 per seedling (USD 0.07 / seedling).

• There are five women farmers per group and they work together as a team to run each nursery business.

Outcomes/impacts:• The signs installed in front of each nursery caught many farmers'

attention, so they visited the nurseries to inquire about the grafted seedlings.

• Eventually most of them purchased or ordered seedlings. • Women farmers have no marketing problems so far and they all

want to set up their own nurseries next year.

The sign reads:“Summer tomato grafted seedling production by a women’s farmer group; Scion: BARI #4, Rootstock: EG203”

Innovative work done/planned• The project field coordinator worked with the

women farmers to modify the grafting chamber to a simpler, smaller and more cost-effective design by using locally-available materials.

• The modified grafting chamber was made with five pieces of wood and covered with a plastic sheet.

• Clay soil is used to seal the gaps between wooden planks and the ground.

• After grafting, the grafted seedlings were transferred to the modified chamber for 3-4 days.

• Grafted seedling survival rate: 85% at one nursery and 60% at another.

Slide 27

www.avrdc.org



Opportunities• In 2013, the project plans to

enable 25 more women to establish their own grafted seedling nurseries.

• Locations of the nurseries are at or near the tomato production areas, which provides good marketing opportunities for women farmers to sell the grafted seedlings to tomato farmers.

Recommendation

• Disaster response program more holistic– Seed kits– Adaptive research (adapting AVRDC technologies

to local conditions)– Seed systems– Training on nutrition, integrated crop

management, post-harvest technologies, etc.

Indonesia: Outcomes/impacts from grafting training

Outcomes/impacts:• Trained farmer/nurseryman shared his

grafting knowledge with others outside Kediri, East Java.

• Trained farmers grafted tomato onto eggplant and chili onto wild chili, and the grafted tomato and chili were exhibited in another district.

• In Bali, Udayana University conducted training on grafting for farmers, as a follow up of training conducted by AVRDC.

Additional grafting training conducted by Udayana University, Bali

Opportunities:• Farmers have already observed the difference between tomato

grafted onto eggplant rootstock and non-grafted tomato. • They found that grafted tomato survives longer than non-grafted. • They expect that if their rootstock is replaced with ones from

AVRDC, the tomato will be much better.

Grafted tomato Non-grafted tomato

Mr. Susanto, a lead farmer and innovator, planted a

small trial in his own field to compare grafted and non-

grafted tomato, after he received training from

AVRDC

Opportunities• Farmers and nurserymen have started multiplying

the resistant rootstocks provided by AVRDC. • After multiplication, rootstock seeds will be

distributed to farmers in other regions.
