the farming community of Tanzania, after comparison with farmers' local kandrace
varieties [LLVs). Twenty-one farmers from three districts participated. Improved
varieties TSPM 91 01 8 and TSPM 91 001, which had been used in national
on-station trials for more than three seasons and were found to be promising, were
established in the farmers' fields in three districts in the 1993/94 season. The
farmers' LLV and Serere 17, an improved released variety, were included in the
Singida district trial for additional comparison.
