TextPublication details: Los Baños, Laguna (Philippines) PCARRD : 2000Description: p. 593-595Subject(s): Summary: Maize breeding research of Cargill Seeds Co., Ltd. in Asian region has been carried out in Thailand and Philippines since 1979 and in India since 1996. Cargill also has testing sites in Pakistan, China, Indonesia, Vietnanl and Japan. The primary goal of Cargill maize research in Asia is to develop high yielding hybrids that are suitable to environmental conditions and farmer practices for Asia and Pacific countries.

The resulting hybrids have been tested over years and in wide array of environments before being released to the farmers.
