Abstract:

The Kalahari Melon Seed (KMS) Breeding Project selected 3 crosses (KMS07-02, KMS 07-17 and KMS 06-27) of improved KMS to be tested by the farmers in Northern Namibia and Caprivi during the 2008/9 cropping season. The main objective of this field testing was to evaluate the performance of the 3 selected crosses in comparison with the traditional varieties (farmer's cultivars). The results of this testing will assist the breeding project in its further selection programme.
