Characteristics of the major soil groups found in bean-growing areas of Africa (Alfisols, Ultisols, Oxisols, Inceptisols) and associated nutritional disorders are discussed. Soil fertility factors affecting bean growth and N fixation, as evidenced in research conducted in Africa, are reviewed as ...

Criteria to develop a screening technique for a low-pH and low-P soil in Malawi: Effect of phosphorous on growth and yield of beans
The 3 stages of the diagnostic procedure to identify soil fertility problems are reviewed, namely (1) classification of land into soil fertility management units, (2) diagnosis of soil fertility and plant nutrition problems, and (3) determination of the causes and mechanisms of nutrient disorders...

Research methods for the diagnosis of soil fertility problems
Bean yields are expected to increase due to improved varieties and better cultural and harvesting practices. Higher yields increase the nutrient requirements of the bean crops and the complexity of management. Better low input management practices will be needed for beans grown in pure stand and ...
