Abstract

Since the beginning of life on earth, mankind has always used animals and plants for its nutrition and has continuously trained and developed them for their benefits and social, cultural, and economic needs. In the past, livestock and crop breeding were done by traditional farmers and ranchers. It improves the performance of livestock and crops, they performed the selection, which is one of the principles of plant breeding and livestock breeding. They made this choice with the help of information that was passed down to them from successive generations. It is a participatory plant breeding and production of crops with the help of researchers alongside farmers. Farmers work with researchers, scientists, and other stakeholders -even consumers- to improve crops and develop resilient plant varieties. Farmers are aware of their needs and have a conscious understanding of their agricultural land in terms of soil type, seed type, weather conditions, surface water, underground water conditions, etc. Therefore, they can play an important role in making decisions about the implementation of plant breeding and the type of planting pattern in the cultivated microclimates. In other words, farmers determine their cultivation goals based on their environments, conditions, tastes, and local cultures. The seed that is obtained in this way by the breed researchers with the help of the leading farmers, actually contributes significantly to the food governance of the people of that region and that country.

Participatory Plant Breeding in Relation to Genetic Diversity, Food Security, Plant Development and the Need to Pay Attention to Oilseed Crops

Highlights

  • The concept of Participatory Plant Breeding is derived from the two words of plant breeding and participation, in fact, participation means the act of cooperation in an event or activity that is achieved through the participation of researchers and farmers in decision making.
  • In countries where the same crop is grown under both favorable and unfavorable conditions, plant breeding has traditionally given priority to more favorable areas.
  • The participatory plant breeding technique and method of different genotypes is provided to agriculture and can have wider choices.
  • Costs are managed in the participatory plant breeding method and it is an economic method.
