More images from the public #wheatharvest activity at Muzaffarpur & Patna (@CSISAProject demo plots) and of JEEViKA women farmer in their wheat fields in Nalanda on 8th, 9th & 10th April, respectively. #ZeroTill #ConservationAg #virtualwheattour @AlisonRBentley
Great to see wheat harvest underway in Bihar India of @CSISAProject demo plots in Nalanda & Muzaffarpur. Smallholder farmers engaging with benefits of conservation ag & improved varieties to boost yields & productivity @Gatesfoundation @CIMMYT @IRRI @IFPRI (Images: Nima/CIMMYT)
From little things, big things grow: in 2021 the #VirtualWheatTour has travelled the world from seed preparation to harvest. Some of my favorite images showing wheat’s incredible journey & contribution to global food security. Look forward to seeing you in a wheat field in 2022!
Another cycle of wheat speed breeding begins for the @CIMMYT Global Wheat Program team in Izmir, Turkey. Excellent work from @beyhan_akin accelerating the production of improved breeding material for the International Winter Wheat Improvement Program (IWWIP) #VirtualWheatTour
More wheat planting underway with the @CIMMYT wheat team in Edirne, Turkey. Breeding & selection activities for both spring & winter wheat in Turkey led by @Beyhanakin1 important for developing improved germplasm adapted to the whole CWANA region & beyond #VirtualWheatTour
Real-time results sharing during a visit of the @CIMMYT wheat team to our quality labs yesterday. Big benefits of an in-house facility meaning we can see all the latest experimental results from @IbbaItria & everyone can share views on which loaf is best! #VirtualWheatTour
Spring wheat planting is complete for the @CIMMYT team in Cd. Obregón. Huge team effort to get material turned around & planted at this scale. Green shoots on the way supporting future wheat improvement. Great images from wheat breeder @leocrespoh #VirtualWheatTour #AGGproject
Wheat pre-breeding planting gets underway in Cd. Obregon with @fpinerach @carorivera19 and their team. Assessing lots of diversity captured for a range of physiological traits @CIMMYT #VirtualWheatTour
More breeding material on its way! The @CIMMYT Global Wheat Program team are hard at work getting material planted in Cd Obregon for selection under a range of conditions #VirtualWheatTour
Accelerated wheat breeding comes with more headrows sown by hand & the precision phenotyping for drought tolerance through drip irrigation @CIMMYT Obregon, Sonora @AlisonRBentley
Wheat planting underway in many parts of the world including @CIMMYT Global Wheat Program advanced breeding lines for assessment and selection in Sindh, Pakistan #VirtualWheatTour
Sowing of different Wheat trials of @CIMMYT at Barley and Wheat Research Institute, Tandojam, Sindh, Pakistan.
My energetic labourers in 1st picture.

Green shoots are go in Cd Obregon with another @CIMMYT spring wheat breeding cycle underway! #VirtualWheatTour
After some days this is how the first wheat trials look at @CIMMYT Cd Obregon.
Besides appropriate trial management and experimental designs, high quality seed is also key to get good data and thus make better breeding decisions. Otherwise bad seed = bad data. @AlisonRBentley
Wheat breeding really never sleeps! The @CIMMYT breeding team are back in Cd Obregon for early planting allowing screening and selection for heat tolerance #VirtualWheatTour #AGGproject
Planting season is on at @CIMMYT Obregón experimental station. Of the different selection environments we establish, this planting date to subject the plants to early heat stress. @AlisonRBentley
Today @fpinerach & the pre-breeding team are in Toluca harvesting selections from crosses made as part of the @CIMMYT wheat physiology program. Impressive work capturing diversity for a range of complex traits + the coolest harvest bags in town @carorivera19 #VirtualWheatTour
It's tough to make it through seed selection! Following field assessment under natural disease pressure in the field in Toluca the @CIMMYT wheat breeding team further select on grain & only the best proceed. Great to join @WheatVelu & team to see this in action #VirtualWheatTour
It's all go @CIMMYT's Toluca Experimental Station! Harvest of accelerated breeding material is in full swing in the screenhouse & the Global Wheat Program team have started harvesting field selection under beautiful blue skies (picture from Suchismita Mondal) #VirtualWheatTour
Harvest underway in the accelerated breeding screenhouse at Toluca station! ~1,500 pipeline crosses from the @CIMMYT Global Wheat Program breeding team #AGGproject. Huge effort from Suchismita Mondal & team to optimize new breeding schemes @WheatVelu @leocrespoh #VirtualWheatTour
Preparation of international nurseries & yield trials from our IWWIP winter wheat breeding program @CIMMYT @ICARDA @TAGEM_ANKARA heading to 70+ collaborators in 31 countries. Great work from @Beyhanakin1 & her team to get this material finalized for distribution #VirtualWheatTour
Great to see new technologies being tested & deployed to address wheat rust threats at the @CIMMYT-@kalromkulima stem rust platform in Njoro, Kenya! Durable rust resistance is a key component of the #AGGproject led by @MandeepWheat #VirtualWheatTour
Out in Njoro @CIMMYT Wheat fields🇰🇪
Our Dream Team @Mayieka_ @WinnieOnyango01 and @ItsWachiye are doing the yellow/ stripe rust test in the fields for @plantvillage Nuru #app 🌾

Accelerating wheat breeding progress @CIMMYT using new facilities at Toluca Experimental Station including rapid generation advance for spring & durum wheat pipelines and speed breeding for trait introgression & parent development #VirtualWheatTour #AGGproject
Yellow rust screening activities under high disease pressure at Toluca station are an important component of the @CIMMYT Global Wheat strategy to deliver durable resistance. Here Sridhar Bhavani & Naeela Qureshi are assessing advanced breeding lines #VirtualWheatTour #AGGproject
Friday field visit in the new (& improved) non-#VirtualWheatTour format! Excellent to catch up with @CIMMYT wheat breeding team members during my first visit to beautiful Toluca Experimental Station & to see all of the selections underway @leocrespoh @WheatVelu #AGGproject
