The process of selection in climbing bean improvement should be conducted with maize in association due to the high cost of sole cropping with stakes or with a trellis system. The relation between yields of beans and maize is negative and the regression coefficient is normally between -1 and -2. ...

Relaciones de competencia entre frijol y maiz en sistemas de asociacion y sus inferencias para el mejoramiento genetico
Different assays on climbing beans in relay cropping or associated with maize, N fixation and Rhizobium inoculation, and bush beans in monoculture are reported. These were conducted in La Selva, Antioquia (Colombia), through a collaborative project between the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (I...

Studies were conducted at CIAT to test a new methodology (1) to improve F3, yields through the use of a hierarchical exptl design (a 9 x 9 lattice with 3 replications, with lines grouped according to the design, without taking into accont the family of origin) and (2) to select beans in associati...

Maize and climbing beans as associated crops prevail in the highlands of L.A. in traditional systems with low populations and manual planting (in rows and pocket drilling). Two trials were establislied to compare the systems, testing bean densities from 4- 12 plants/m(2) and 3-12 plants/m(2), wit...
Activities carried out by the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA)-CIAT collaborative project on beans for cold climates in ICA`s regional center in Obonuco and in the dept. of Narino (Colombia) are reported. On the exptl. farm, 6233 materials were evaluated in bush bean trials, of which 103 w...
The methodology used and the results obtained are discussed for an investigation conducted at CIAT on agronomic factors of maize- bean associations: planting method, density and date, stakes used, fertilization and cultural practices. It was concluded that if high technological levels are used, t...
A summary on bean improvement activities carried out by CIAT in the Great Lakes Region is presented. Collaboration in bean breeding among Rwanda, Burundi, and Zaire has resulted in an integrated scheme of var. evaluation. The nucleus of this scheme is the PRELAAC (Pepiniere Regionale pour l`Evalu...
