| Abstract:
Between 1989 and 1992 a series of screening experiments were performed at several locations (West Jaya: Subang and Sukamandi; Central Java: Kramat) in both the dry and the rainy season aiming at the selection of lowland adapted genotypes. Materials consisted of local varieties, land races and selections from the LEHRI gene bank, lines developed by AVRDC and varieties from ASEAN countries participating in the AVNET programmes which is coordinated by AVRDC. Main criteria for field selection were yield, resistance to Bacterial Wilt (Pseudomonas solanacearum), some main fungal diseases, fruit quality and plant performance. Several entries were selected for continued testing and for use as genitor in the breeding programme. | |
