Grant is provided to the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) to establish a regional agricultural research center to produce resistant and high-yielding varieties of cassava, banana, and plantain for the mid-altitude ecologies of East and Southern Africa. The Regional Center will be located at the Namulonge Research Station in Uganda. The Center will identify crop pests and diseases; develop and make available to small farmers improved cultivars; introduce integrated pest management techniques, emphasizing plant resistance and cultural and biological pest control; develop improved post harvest processing techniques to enhance crop utilization and storage; introduce rapid multiplication of planting materials; and conduct on-farm adaptive research. The Center will also initiate soil management studies to enhance soil fertility and sustain productivity of crops; establish a base, in collaboration with Makerere University and other regional institutions, for graduate research training; and provide regional in-service training for technicians in production technologies. Finally, the project will provide individual training courses and exchange visits, and produce tra
