AVRDC's International Networks to deal with the Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Disease: the needs of Developing Countries

  • Chapter
Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus Disease

Tomato leaf curl disease severely affects crops in Southeast Asia and South Asia, but networks of researchers facilitated by AVRDC were able to make major progress in overcoming the effects of this disease, which would not have been otherwise possible.

Research networking was one of the key features in the ADB’s regional agricultural technical assistance projects at that time. It has proven to be an effective mechanism to promote research to achieve common goals of the participating countries, which would not have been possible if the countries had carried out their research individually. The strong partnership of AVRDC with these countries continues until this day. Components of network cooperation included a memorandum of understanding to maintain the commitment of member countries, joint proposal development, the organization of an initial joint planning consultation workshop, training components, infrastructure improvement, monitoring by midterm reviews and final workshops and impact assessment. The success of cooperative networks depended on (1) a clearly defined realistic problem, (2) commonality of the problem, (3) strong self-interest, (4) willingness to commit available resources, (5) availability of external funding, (6) sufficient training and manpower development, and (7) strong leadership. In the following pages the AVRDC’s collaborative research into dealing with the tomato (yellow) leaf curl virus disease through network modes is described.
