International Rice Testing Program for Latin America

The International Rice Testing Program (IRTP) for Latin America was sponsored by the CIAT and IRRI, with funds from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The testing program was formalized in 1976 with the object of evaluating at ClAT nurseries introduced from IRRI and the promising material developed by national programs in Latin America (during 1980 to 1993). From among this germplasm, the material considered most appropriate to the needs of the various Latin American countries la distributed through various specific nurseries.

面向拉丁美洲的国际水稻测试项目（International Rice Testing Program, IRTP）由国际热带农业中心（Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical, CIAT）与国际水稻研究所（International Rice Research Institute, IRRI）联合发起，资助资金来源于联合国开发计划署（United Nations Development Programme, UNDP）。该项目于1976年正式确立，旨在依托国际热带农业中心的试验圃，评估从国际水稻研究所引入的种质资源，以及1980年至1993年间拉丁美洲各国国内育种项目研发的优良材料。从上述种质资源中筛选出最契合各拉丁美洲国家需求的材料，通过各类专项试验圃进行分发。
