1.0 Introduction
The Nigeria Working Group meeting was chaired by
the National Coordinator, Prof. S. G. Ado. The Chairman informed members of
five major issues for discussion during the meeting, which include: 1. Seed
production data collation; 2. identification of promising OPVs and Hybrids from
Regional Trials for on-farm trials; 3. identification of promising OPVs and
Hybrids for release; 4. Fund allocation
for projects and 5. Revisiting the country strategy.
2.0 Collation of Seed Production Data
Members agreed that the National Agricultural Seeds
Council (NASC), which is the Seeds Regulatory Agency in Nigeria, be responsible
for monitoring and collation of data on DT Maize Seeds production from both the
formal and informal seeds sectors. The Agency was further solicited to appoint
a focal person to be responsible for the collation. DTMA Project members also
agreed to assist with information on DT seed production figures whenever
required. Members were assured of the support of the Council with regards to DT
seed data collation. .
3.0 Identification of Genotypes for on -farm Trials
Members were reminded of nominations made in 2011
which were tested on farm starting from 2012. Members agreed that these
genotypes will be tested again in 2013 to generate two year data. However, the
following promising genotypes were identified for inclusion in on farm trials.
Set 1: Extra Early Hybrid
EEWH-20, EEWH-17, EEYH-21, EEYH-26
Set 2: Early QPM
EWQH-7, EWQH-8, EYQH-14, EWQH-18
Set 3: Early DT Hybrids
EWH29, EWH-19, .EWH-3, EWH-31
Set 4: 3 way cross DT STR
.M1124-3, M1227-12, M1128-8, .SC 719
Set 5: Top cross
M1026-10, M1026-2, M0926-12, M0926-7, M09 26-8
4.0 Identification of Genotypes for Variety Release
Six genotypes including 3 early maturing OPVs (Pool
18 SR/AKS94 DMRESRY, DTE Y STR SYN, 2004 TZE DT STR) one intermediate (DTWSTR
SYN) and two hybrids (M026-7 and M0926-8) were identified for nomination for release
in 2012. Members agreed that these genotypes be used for DUS/VCU in 2013. Three
private agencies: Adamawa Agricultural Development Investment Limited (AADIL),
Premier Seeds Nig. Ltd (PSNL) and SeedCo West Africa indicated their plans to
conduct demonstrations with these genotypes. AADIL will conduct demonstrations
of the six genotypes at Ganye and Song in Adamawa State, PSNL will demonstrate
the 2 hybrids, while IAR will demonstrate 1 set of the 6 genotypes. SeedCo will
also provide another genotype SC 719 to be tested along with the 7 others. About
10 kg of each variety will be required making a total of 80 kg. While the early
maturing varieties will be paired, the two hybrids will also be paired and the only
intermediate maturing variety will be paired with TZL Comp 1 SYN. Other details
of the demonstrations were also discussed.
5.0 Project Budgets
The 2013 budget for the projects largely remained
as they were in 2012. However, members made slight upward review of budgets for
DTMA P1A, DTMA P1B, DTMA P1C and DTMA P5A.
6.0
Country Strategy
Discussion on the country strategy was rescheduled
for the next national planning meeting scheduled before trial establishment.
