    1. Developing links with agricultural research centres

    4. ICRISAT Location: India and Niger Semi-arid tropics Groundnut Millet Sorghum

    5. CIMMYT Location: Mexico and Zimbabwe Maize and wheat Visited in Feb. 2002

    6. CIAT Location: Colombia Beans and cassava Visited Feb. 2002

    7. IRRI Location: The Philippines Rice Visited March 2002 Oldest CG centre (F. 1960)

    8. Overview of response Rainfall seen as the most important variable Spatial scale is an issue, especially in mountainous regions Probabilistic forecasts not always initially seen as useful Importance of drought / heat stress at critical crop stages

    10. Examples of applications of SF Planting of drought tolerant bean varieties Forecasting of dry spells near flowering Transplant vs. direct seeding for rice Rainfall-related cassava diseases Maize streak virus Bean breeding

    13. Participatory research at CIAT
