Abstract

Assistance received from DAE, BARI, and RADRS in Bangladesh; ICAR, BAU, UBKV, DoA-WB, Shakhi and JEEViKA in India, NARC and DoA in Nepal and community-based organizations (CBOs) in the region are thankfully acknowledged. The support received from CSIRO, Curtin University, University of Queensland, the University of New England in Australia; iDE Nepal; IRRI, IWMI, and IFPRI are greatly appreciated. We thank the farmers, service providers, machinery dealers of EGPs for their co-operation and inputs in implementing on-farm trials. A tremendous progress has been made in achieving milestones/outputs set in the proposal. This level of achievements would not have been possible without collaborators and other stakeholders dedicated supports. Thanks, are also due to Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and the Department of Foreign Affair and Trade (DFAT) for the support of CASI technology development and delivery in the EGPs. This research synthesis report is an output from a collaborative regional multi-partnership project managed by CIMMYT with the ACIAR and DFAT funding for the benefit of developing countries (CSE/2011/077).
