Tanzania

Outcome 2: Realized productivity gains of

20% (over local varieties, and 10% over best

improved where relevant) achieved in

groundnut production areas where seed of the

improved varieties developed by the project

have been extended

Phenotyping and trial data for assisting NARS to use

modern tools and platforms for breeding

Activity 2.2: Breeding Pipeline

moderate levels of resistance to rust, LLS and ELS once in project

life;

•Selected short duration lines which are resistance to foliar

diseases and cross them to adapted popular varieties by

July – October 2016

(b) Develop ten (10) drought-tolerant

breeding lines once in project life;

lines (high levels of Rust, LLS resistance, ELS,

GRD/PBND and other stresses) once in project

life;

resistance trait will be crossed to adapted popular varieties

for introgression of foliar disease resistance traits by July -

October 2016

ICGV-SM 08581, ICVG-SM 99551, ICGV-SM 05569) with

agronomic advantages such as disease and pest tolerance,

high yield, drought tolerance selected from Regional trials are

planted in 3 sites (Naliendele, Nachingwea and Tunduru) for

close observations for superiority and stability in yield

evaluation across groundnut growing areas. Superior and

AGVT in 5 sites characterized by low altitude, mid altitude and

moisture stress (Naliendele, Nachingwea, Tunduru, Makutupora and

Tumbi), the genotypes are being evaluated for their adaptation in

those major groundnut areas so that they can be included in NPT and

later proposed for release lake zone , northern zone, SHZ

be analyzed for nutrition profiling by June, 2016

Activity 2.4: Best Bet Varieties

(a) Eighty (80) demonstrations plots;

100 demonstration will be planted in 11 Districts (Southern Zone:

30, Central Zone: 30, Western Zone: 30 and Lake Zone: 11) plus

SHZ and northern zone in identified groundnut growing districts

from 2016-17. Demo size is 5mx10m due to availability of seeds

Inventories groundnut growing areas in the SHZ and NZ in order

to complement with other BMGF investments in the SHZ and

Northern Zone and distribute demo’s plots in identified areas.

About 750 Kg kernels (200 Kg, of Mangaka 2009, 100 Kg of

Naliendele 2009 and 200 Kg of Mnanje 2009) will be planted as

Breeder seeds. By end of June, 2016 we expect to be having 7500

Kg of breeder seeds. The 7500 Kg of seeds will be planted under

Irrigation in Mtwara and Arusha by end of July. Total Breeder seeds

by Oct, 2016 will be 75 Tons. Five tons will be planted as breeder

seeds and 70 tons will channeled for basic seeds production through

objective 6 for certified and QDS

(b) Release of 8-10 tons of breeder seed of at least

one best bet variety;

(c) fingerprint database developed for the improved

cultivars promoted under TL-II project;

•NARI/ICRISAT: NARI scientist will be trained on conducting

DNA finger printing by ICRISAT and DNA fingerprint database will

be developed for 5-8 improved Groundnut varieties released under

TL-II and scaled out under TL-III. Cold room to maintain viability of

varieties/germplasm

Activity 2.5. Enhancing Genetic Gain of

ICRISAT hubs and partners

(a) Develop and implement a Program for Improvement

Plan;

•NARI/ICRISAT: Maintain groundnut lines to be used in

breeding with well defined traits of advantage in groundnut

improvement. Use the lines in short and long term goals for

introgression of genes of traits of interest to popular

varieties.
