Durum wheat: new age for an old crop
CIMMYT's development of short, widely adapted durum wheats has enhanced the food production prospects of durum-producing nations. Scientists at CIMMYT and in national cereal programs are working together to combine high yield potential with disease resistance, adaptation to difficult environmental conditions, and good durum kernel quality. Farmers from Morocco to India already are benefiting.
