Abstract The Germplasm Improvement Subprogram organized a workshop and think-tank on management and use of international trial data for increasing breeding efficiency at Ciudad Obregon, Mexico on January 21-22, 1992. Participants included scientists from INIFAP (Mexican National Institute of Forestry, Agriculture, and Livestock Research), Cornell University, the University of Queensland (Australia), India, ICARDA, and CIMMYT. The workshop explicitly recognized that data associated with germplasm are valuable resources that enhance the worth of germplasm for both plant scientists and farmers of the developing world. The Wheat Program's planned Data Management System embraces this principle and will organize information around the germplasm to which it refers, rather than by the source of the information (e.g., a specific trial). Selected papers presented during the workshop and included in this Special Report provide a point of departure or bench mark for our future breeding strategies and planning as we strive to impr ve both CIMMYT and national wheat breeding programs. Selected discussion notes are included after each paper. Appendices 1-4 provide additional background and details about CIMMYT International Wheat Nurseries and the Data Management System that may not be detailed in the selected papers. Appendices 5 and 6 provide listings of cooperating locations for all nurseries and ISWYN genotypes of which we would appreciate assistance in making corrections. This Wheat Special Report on the management and use of international trial data emphasizes the importance of shared knowledge. But please keep in mind the information in this report is disseminated with the understanding that it is not published in the sense of a refereed journal.
