Dataset for: Participatory Varietal Selection of 5 late blight resistant clones in the localities of 3 de Diciembre and Paca in Junin, Peru

The M&B trial design encourages active participation of farmers through the application of treatments through systematic evaluations and selections of treatments in their own plots called "Baby trials" (i.e. farmer managed trials) and in fields with an experimental design called "Mother trials" (i.e. researcher managed trials).

Objective: Analyze characteristics, attributes and preferences that men and women have when selecting a new potato variety at the phase of flowering and harvesting. A M&B trial was performed to evaluate 5 clones with late blight resistance in the localities of 3 de Diciembre in the province of Chupaca, and the locality of Paca in the province of Jauja, in Junin department, Peru. The trial design was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replicates for Mother trials and 3 replicates during the period 2013-2014.
