Promotion of the local seed production chain: breeding and distribution of bell pepper and pepper varieties by farmers Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is a high-yield commodity in Togo(Maatman, and the Al., 2011). The local pepper varieties are preferred and widely consumed, but there are no commercial seeds available in the market, or a Capsicum breeding program in Togo. Farmers themselves perpetuate the local varieties by collecting seeds of commercial fruits for the next sowing. Through a participatory research approach, this project aims at: 1) Selecting two local red pepper varieties and two bell pepper varieties th Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015
Improved means of subsistence for smallholder pepper growers through partnerships that aim at germplasm improvement and adaptation Smallholder Capsicum pepper growers in Uganda are operating below the ideal levels of agricultural production due to a lack of improved varieties, low quality seed systems and the devastation caused by pests and diseases. The damages caused by diseases are aggravated by the cultivation of susceptible germplasm and the use of poor quality seeds. In order to increase production and competitiveness in the market, farmers need to have access to clean seeds of cultivars that are tolerant to diseas ...

Development of jalapeño pepper cultivars for mechanized harvest and of other chile peppers for processing The manual harvest of pepper fruits is difficult mostly due to the plants' low heights and the fruit's pungency, which causes irritation and burns the hands of harvesters. Such aspects partly explain the scarcity of labor for the pepper harvest. In addition, in the Brazilian and international market there are no jalapeño cultivars developed for mechanized harvesting. Therefore, this project aims at the development of new jalapeño cultivars adapted to mechanized harvest - with suitable plant arch ... Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015
Genetic breeding of habanero and malagueta chili peppers for Brazilian agriculture Peppers of the Capsicum genus are cultivated in every Brazilian state, especially in Goiás, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Ceará, Bahia, and Sergipe states, having a total estimated area of 5,000 hectares and a production of about 75,000 tons per year. The cultivation of peppers and bell peppers in Brazil has a strong family base and social importance since this activity is carried out predominantly by smallholder farmers and it is the main source of income for such families. Despite chili pepper bein ... Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015
The QUALIVEG project: Adaptation of Embrapa's plant gene banks to international quality standards The QUALIVEG Project - Implementation and Monitoring of Quality Systems in Vegetable Genetic Banks aims to map the current conditions of five of the 147 genetic banks of plants of importance for agriculture and food maintained by the Company throughout the National Territory, with the objective of adapting International quality standards. Embrapa's intention in the long term is to map and adapt all its plant collections to international quality standards, but faced with the impossibilit ...
