The trends and yield constraints in production systems of beans and cassava are analyzed; examples are given of the role of 3 types of information (macro stage, micro stage, and critical inference stage) in the design of research for beans and cassava at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tr...

Trends and yield constraints in the production systems of beans and cassava in Latin America with emphasis on research design implications
The trials conducted by CIATs Bean Economics Program in southern Huila (Colombia) have indicated that in this region monoculture bean yields can be increased 1-1.5 t/ha through improved agronomic practices. This paper is an ex ante analysis of the effect of this new technology on farmers` income,...
Agricultural research in developing countries has lacked relevance to farm-level production problems, especially appropriate technologies for small-scale or limited-resource farmers. Currently research institutions are directing their efforts towards these objectives. This paper is a preliminary ...

The role of economists in on-farm testing in agricultural research
A methodology is presented on how to study bean production processes and its on-farm application in Colombia. The main objectives are to identify the factors limiting production and productivity, availability and use of resources, credit, technical assistance, markets, pest and weed distribution ...

Estudio agroeconomico del proceso de produccion de frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris) en Colombia
In 1976 expt. were conducted on var. trials, fertilization, insecticides, and herbicides in order to identify new technology that could be introduced into small- and intermediate-scale bean production in Honduras. Factors of a complete technological package were also discarded to identify the mos...

Analisis economico de los experimentos de PROMYF con frijol en postrera, Honduras 1976
Beans are attacked by a large no. of plant pathogens and insect pests, many of which can reduce yields drastically. Farmers with small land holdings usually have limited resources but produce most of the beans in L.A. Control strategies feasible for these growers may be restricted to those strate...
El frijol es atacado por un gran no. de organismos fitopatogenos y plagas, muchas de las cuales disminuyen los rendimientos significativamente. Los agricultores que poseen pequenas parcelas tienen generalmente ingresos muy limitados pero producen casi todo el frijol en America Latina. Las estrate...

Bean production trends during the years of 1947-51 and 1973-77 were analyzed for the different states of Brazil and some marketing policies for surplus crops are suggested. The state of Parana was the largest producer during 1947-51 and 1973-77 with 203,506 and 561,360 t, resp., representing 20.7...
