Th e passage into the year 2000 has brought w ith

Controlling Potato ate Blight

Late blight of potato is a devastating disease

worldwide. In

developing countries, the lack

of

a

winter

period and the continuous presence of host

plants create the ongoing disease pressure belied in

late blight's name. Disease onset can be immediate

after emergence. Under these conditions, the

disease does not spread from isolated infection

points, as in Europe and

North

America, but

emanates en

masse

over large areas,

moving ata

devastating speed. Resource-poor farmers in East

Africa, South and

East

Asia, and the Andean region

are least likely to be able

to

afford the inputs

necessary to control the disease

with

fungicide.

Reaching and helping these farmers

is

the objective

of

CIP's late blight project. The strategy

is

to fight

the disease

by providing

farmers and extensionists

with

control practices that can be customized for

local conditions.

CIP

is

also developing and distributing potato

germplasm with long-lasting resistance against all

forms

of

the pathogen, learning more

about

the

pathogen itself, and working directly with farmers to

help them understand the disease see p. 9). In

1999, CIP's resistant potato clones were distributed

to

many countries and performed well. Three late

blight

- resistant CIP-based varieties were released

in

Uganda and

two

in Peru.

CIP

scientists also made significant progress

in

1999

in the

use of

molecular tools

to

identify new sources

of

resistance and to facilitate transfer

of

the

resistance to acceptable clones.

At

least one gene

that may confer resistance

has

been isolated in a

related species and cloned for creating transgenic

plants carrying the resistance.

lncreased knowledge

of

the late

blight

pathogen's

ecology and

evolution-gained

through

epidemiological and genetic studies in Latin

America and Africa-is offering greater

understanding

of its

newer forms as

well

as

its

emerging resistance to fungicide. This knowledge

is

critica

in

determining

which

control components

should

be used

at each particular site.

Farmers are benefiting directly from CIP's efforts

through the establishment

of

Farmer Field Schools,

which

were launched in seven countries in 1999

and now reach hundreds of farmers and their

families. Farmers learn

what

causes late blight, a

disease that

is

often attributed to excessive rainfall,

sun,

or mystical causes. They learn how to

recognize the disease in its early

stages

and how to

choose and

use

the best control methods for their

local conditions.

In

the process, they further

research progress by

providing new

information to

scientists.

lntegrated Control of Bacteria ilt

The

ELISA

kit developed in 1998 to detect the

bacteria

wilt

bacterium in potato tubers

has

been

distributed to 24 countries, where it is used for seed

certification and for quarantine and research

purposes

to

support integrated disease management.

In

Southwest Asia, Farmer Field Schools are being

u

sed

to orient farmers to aspects

of

integrated

disease management for control

of

bacteria

wilt

and production of good quality seed.

More

than

200 farmers have attended the schools. The

improved

ELISA

diagnostic tool

see

related training

materials on

p.

21) also

allowed

increased emphasis

in 1999 on characterizing germplasm for possible

resistance.

In

Peru, 57 advanced clones were

identified

as

having sorne resistance to bacteria

wilt

as

well

as

desirable agronomic features. Eleven

clones had less than 20 percent tuber latent

infection.

In wild

species, accessions

of

4 out

of

8

species found to be resistant to

ontrol of Potato Viruses

M any years of cooperation with Th e Sainsbury

Laboratory (Norw ich, UK) have laid the framework

for

impro

ving clonal see d for reso

ur

ce

poor

fa rm

co

mmuniti

es.

A gene for resistance to potato vi ru s Y

has been located, i

so

lated, and cloned for inserting

into potato varieties through transformation. The Ry

gen

known as

the " resistance ge ne is

uniqu

e in

that it is naturall y occurring in a spec ies close ly

related to potato. A si mi lar

ge

ne fo r res istance to

potato v irus X (PVX) has already been transferred to

PVX-susceptible va ri et ies through transformation.

Th

ese

varieties are now being evaluated to

see

if

their res istance is sufficient to protect them aga in

st

the viru s. Thi s devel

op

ment is of particular interest

to poor farmers who depend on loca lly produced or

stored seed tub ers. V i us resistance w i fortify these

clonal seed

so

ur

ces

and enable them to maintain

r

es

ahead. Thi s

wo

rk may al

reduce the need for seed producers to migrate to

upper wa tershed areas in attempts to avoid the vi

ru

vectors. Such an effect

wo

True Potato

Stable and consi

available and being tested in many parts of the

also being used more and more as a rapid response

Hurricane Mitch.

Unl ike conventional

Rebecca Ne/son

is

a molecular biologist who

studies the population structure

of

the pathogen that

causes late blight on patato,

and

the genetics

of

plant defense. She leads CIP s project on late blight,

and

her interest

in

integrated disease management

has /ed her

to

be

increasingly invo/ved in

1

'downstream activities such

as

farmer education

and

participatory research.

Ne/son spent the month of February 2

in

the

village

of

Baños de Qui/cate,

in

San Miguel

province

in

the northern Peruvian department of

Cajamarca.

Baños de Qui/cate

is one of 7

3 communities

in

the

province

in

which

CIP and

CARE-Peru are

collaborating on pilot Farmer Field Schools (FFS)

far

patato growers. Biweekly sessions

combine

learning

activities with experiments

conducted

by

farmers on

issues

of

concern to them. The schools a/so serve

as

proving grounds

far

promising

new

patato varieties.

CIP

has recently teamed up with other research

and

extension organizations

to

launch FFS programs

in

seven countries-Bangladesh, Bolivia, China,

Ecuador, Ethiopia,

Peru, and

Uganda.

Nelson's hands-on experience with FFS began

in

7994, when she worked at the lnternational Rice

Research lnstitute

(IRRI) in

the Philippines. She

joined CIP

in

7996 determined to test the FFS

approach

in

patato. Below, she talks about what she

learned during her month in the field.

Q Why did

you decide to spend a month in the

mountains?

A For the last three years my col leagues and 1have

been making short visits to the area

during

the field

school season. But those trips have a high

transaction cost. You spend a lot

of time

traveling

for a little time in the field, and even then, you only

get to see the most accessible sites.

So

you end up

with

an

idealized view.

1

felt it was important

to

see

the unabridged, unedited version.

Q

Were you pleased

with

what you saw?

A

Very much so. Of course, there are always things

that

could

stand improvement.

1

had

time

not just to

observe, but to help implement sorne changes.

That's a rare luxury.

Q What sorts of changes?

A

One

example

has

to do with the way the fi eld

experiments were being

conduct

ed. The farmers

always work in teams. To make

things less

complicated, the facilitators had decided to

organi ze those teams

according

to the diffe rent

fungicide treatments required by three of the four

experiments. But by

dividing

the work that way, the

farmers lost track

of

the

point

of the experiments.

Each

group should have been in charge of a single

experiment,

following

it through the entire season,

instead

of

taking responsibility for

an

isolated aspect

of

three.

lt might seem like a small point, but a decision

made on the basis

of

convenience was undermining

the farmers' experience.

1

was able to call it to the

attention of the facilitators, and help them get things

back on track. lt's

critically

important that the

farmers understand

why

they're doing the

experiments . The whole point

is

for them to take

their findings and use them to make good decisions

in their

own

fields.

Q

So much must depend on the extension workers.

A

They are real ly he roes . The ti me, the effort, the

energy, the risks that they take-it s ins pi ri ng. San

Miguel

is

a large area, and the roads

went

from bad

to worse during the time

we

were there. lt was

raining

v ry

day, and the fog and mud were

incredible. Just to arrive ata

community ata

given

time can be a huge feat.

1

have a very high regard

for people working day in and day out under those

conditions.

And this

is

ali

new

to them. They are trained in

traditional extension work, and what we're trying do

in the field schools

is

different.

We ve

al

1 had to

learn a lot.

Q Your training

is

as a laboratory scientist. Why are

you

so

involved in the field schools?

A

My research

is

on plants and pathogens. Those

are two legs

of

the so-called disease triangle. The

third leg

is

environment, and people are a huge part

of that. In fact, when

1

dr

aw

the triangle, 1always

put people right in the middle. No matter what the

problem is farmers are the key to the solution.

Q How did the farmers in th e San Miguel ar

ea

respond to late b light before they began taking part

in the field schools

A

One response was to st

op

planting at all in the

we t

seaso

n, w hen the late blight risk was simp ly too

high. But the big prob lem w ith grow i ng potatoes in

the dry season is that yield depends on the

availabi

li t

y

of

water. They al

so

u

sed

fu ngic id

es,

although not always ve ry safely or effectively. Th ey

we

re general ly familiar wi th th e concept of res ista nt

potato va

ri

eties but didn t have access to the best

material s.

Q Have the fi eld schools given them

access?

A

That s the idea. Starting two years ago,

we

introduced about a dozen va rieti

es

and bree

din

g

lines fo r testing in the

fi

eld schoo ls.

Based

in part on

the fa rmers results, two new var ieties were rel

ease

d

through the national

see

d di

st

ributi on system.

Thi s year th e

fi

eld schoo

ls

are testing 50 more

potato c lone

s.

Those repre

se

nt the best

se

lections

from a

bout

50,

000

seed lin gs tes ted by CIP in its

own fields. Th e farmers help decide w hich become

va rieties. They re al

so

looking ata number of entries

produced from t

ru

e potato seed (seed taken from the

berry of the plant)- a new concept for most of them.

Q Are field sch

oo

ls essential to managing late

blight, orare new

va

rieties enough?

A

You need to know a lot in ord er to mana

ge

late

bl i

ght-resistance, seed health, how the weather fits

into the

pictur

e, and the epidemio logy

of

the

disease. You have to be ab le to predict how the

disease w ill progress based on all those factors, and

then you have to decide on a strategy. You ca n t

ge

t

that knowledge to people just by diffusing improved

seed. You have to improve knowledge together w ith

see

d. Field sch

oo

ls are the best way 1 know of to do

that.

Th ere is also th e issue of the

dur

ability

of

res istance.

W e ca n get r

es

istant va rieties to farmers,

but

th at s

not the end of th e story. Res istance h

as

a long

hi story of breaking dow n ove r tim

e.

arm e

rs

have t

know how to react if a crop they tho ght w as

r

es

istant suddenly beg ins to show sigr s of a disease

attack, and they have to have alte

rn

atives fo r the

next seaso

n.

A good thin g about the FFS approach is that

fa

rm er

can decide w hat th ey want to kn ow, and design

experim ents to pro vide answers.

lt

s liberating

methodo logy in th at sense .

Q What are the most impo rtant gaps in fa rm

ers

kn ow ledge about late bli ght?

A

One

thing they don t know is th at late

blight

is

ca u

sed

by a

microb

e. lf you don t kn

ow

that there s

a mi crobe involved , you

ca

n t under

1

tand how the

di

sease

progresses. To use fu ngicide effectively yo

have to understand th e idea

of

latent periods-the

fact that the disease may be present ta given tim

e

but not v isible. On ce fa rmers grasp tmat, they can b

much better decision-makers.

Th ey al

so

don t kno w much about fu

1

ngicid

es.

1

watched one group sit in a circl e w ith the extension

wo rker and talk about the difference Jbetween

commerc ial names and ac ti ve ingredients. lt was

they didn t r

mea nt to do. Som etim es they were j st

diluting

the

chemi ca ls w ithout realiz ing it.

Q

The field schools are m

ea

nt in part to pro vide

information for resea rchers. How good are the data

In sub-Saharan Africa, 3 million children under age five suffer blindness caused

by lack of vitamin

A.

Vitamin A

is

produced by the body when it has sufficient

quantities of a precursor known as "beta-carotene." When it doesn't, the body

can not produce sufficient vitamin A and blindness can result. The World

Health Organization (WHO) says that

wom n

with vitamin A deficiency face a

significantly higher risk of death during pregnancy. And children are more

subject to

falling victim

to

other diseases if they don't have enough

of

this

critica vitamin.

World development agencies have reacted to this

se rious hea lth crisis by di

st

ribut ing vitam in A

ca psules and fortify ing food. The results have been

vitamin A supplements in 1997, and the

CIP benefits from the confidence and

support of a number of dedicated

donors. A substantial proportion of

CIP's funding

is

unrestricted

and

broadly underpins the Center's

capacity to respond effectively to

needs and opportunities. This

is

by

far our most valuable source of

financia support and CIP

is

thankful

for the determination of core donors

to uphold the principies on which th

CGIAR

was

founded.

ther

funds

come through competitive grants for

specific projects or initiatives. These

contributions are limited

in

time and

scope, and carry high additional

transaction costs

Recent trends show worrisome

decline in international agricultura

research funding as a whole.

This

instability

is

challenging the CGIAR

system and

its

Centers to forge new

strategies and directions. CIP

continues to seek new partners who

share its belief that strategic, high-

quality agricultura research

plays

a

major role in alleviating hunger,

poverty, and environmental

degradation

in

the world's poorest

countries.

The Center's total income in 1999 was $21.4

in

Thi s income was distribut

'be noted that at the end

the Center's expected

Th e

funding fai lu

re

reduced CIP 's income by US$1.9

million . Because

of

the resulting $1.3-mi lli on

deficit, the Center's Operating Fund for 1999

dropped to US$0.2 million , e

quiv

alent to only 3.3

wo

rking days. The CG IAR Finan

ce

Committee's

al location to partial ly compensate this default w ill

be US $1.4 mil lion. This amount w ill be receive d

in

2000. To ensure continued Center operations, the

entire amount w ill have to be deposited

in

it

to

th

of

25

The fir st ph

ase of

the Biodive rsity Comp l

was

completed in June 1999. This co

ponded to an

investment of US$0.25 million (for co nst ru cti on)

and US$0.l 5 million (for equ ipm ent) provided by

restricted contributions from th e Gove rnment

of

Japan. Due to unexpected reduct ions in Ce nter

income and subsequent cash-flow limitation

s,

the

second ph

could not be continued. This ph

shou ld be reinitiated in 2000.

CIP

has improved its cash-flow situati on

considerably during the past four years through

careful fin ancia manage ment, but this area rema

in

CIP Financia lnformation System (CIPFIS)

Th e CIP Fin ancia lnformation Sys tem (CIPFI S is a

project-b

ase

d integrated budge tin

g,

account

in

g,

costin g, and

cas

h-management system. The

sys

tem

was int roduced in 1993. Since then, it has been

upgraded and updated from a CI pper-Microsoft

Visual FoxP ro 5 ve rsion to a new version released in

December 1999 . lt comprises an

SQL-S

databa se and three different front-ends: an online

int

a W eb-

offers a f

of data-e

reporting fac ilities corresponding to various levels of

use

r-

Th

e offline posting sys tem was

developed fo r decentralized

input

from remole siles

to

th

e central CIPFIS database.

The payroll is lin

S,

thus

eliminating the need for manual entries. lnve ntory

Th

FUTUR

HAR\ (EST

The lnternational Potato Center

CIP) seeks to reduce poverty

and achieve food security on a

sustained basis in developing

countries through

scieriTlfic

research and related activities

on potato, sweetpotato, othv

root and tuber crops and on the

improved management of

natural resources

in

the Andes

and other mountain areas.

.

CIP is

part of the global

agricultura research network

known as the Consultative

Group on lnternational

Agricultura Research CGIAR).

CIP supports Future Harvest,

an initiative that builds

understanding about the wider

social benefits of ill]'flroved

agriculture: peace, prosperity,

environmental renewal, health,

and the alleviation of human

suffering.
