CIMMYT and Turkey: Daily bread from a deep-rooted partnership
The Green Revolution is generally associated with India and Pakistan but also had major impacts in the 1960s in Turkey, which imported 22,000 tons of the first semi-dwarf spring wheat varieties from Mexico, dramatically increasing national wheat production. Around the same time, winter wheat production also increased significantly due to the introduction of the Russian cultivar Bezostaya and new fallow management practices from the University of Oregon, USA. In 1986, the International Winter Wheat Improvement Program (IWWIP) was formed in Turkey as a partnership between the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture, CIMMYT, and ICARDA. In 2000, a joint Turkey-CIMMYT soil-borne disease program began.
