Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. cv.-group utilis) is widely promoted in tropical and sub-tropical regions as a green manure cover crop that can reduce weed growth and soil erosion and enhance soil fertility. To provide these benefits, the crop must attain rapid ground cover and develop subs...

Adaptation of the CROPGRO growth model to velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens). II. Cultivar evaluation and model testing
Nineteen early maturing, indeterminate common bean parents were crossed with a tester line of normal maturity. All parents, F1 hybrids, F2's, and backcross generations were evaluated at CIAT-Palmira, Colombia. All 19F1 populations flowered and matured almost as early as the respective early paren...

Crosses between common bean genotypes from different centres of origin can result in F1 plants with dwarfing that is severe enough to prevent formation of F2 seed. This hybrid dwarfness is controlled by two complementary genes, Dl-1 and Dl-2. The dominant alleles at both loci must be present to c...
