Results of agronomic research are reviewed and suggestions for further research are given. Research is needed to derive methods that will enable farmers to integrate climbing beans into their current crop production systems. The wide gap between genetic yield potential and actual results on farme...

Se revisan los resultados de la investigacion agronomica y se dan sugerencias para otras investigaciones. Se necesita que la investigacion proporcione metodos que faciliten al agricultor la incorporacion del frijol trepador a sus sistemas tradicionales de produccion de cultivos. La gran brecha en...

Root rot severely constrains bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in parts of Western Kenya. Genetic and soil management options were evaluated for an integrated root rot management approach. Four hundred genotypes were progressively screened in the field for resistance to root not over six se...

Researchers worked with farmers in eastern Uganda to develop alternatives for soil management using crotalaria (Crotalaria ochroleuca), mucuna (Mucuna pruriens var. utilis), lablab (Dolichos lablab), and canavalia (Canavalia ensiformis) as green manures in short-term fallows. The participatory re...

The potential of Crotalaria ochroleuca check for this species in other resources as a green manure crop was evaluated in a series of on-station and on-farm trials on reddish kaolinitic loam and sandy clay loam soils in Uganda. Production of the green manure by intercropping Crotalaria with eithe...

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a major crop in Eastern and Southern Africa, but yields are low. Climbing bean is much more productive than bush bean and is gaining importance with small scale farmers. Our objectives were to: compare nutrient balances with climbing and bush bean in a grain sorghu...

Management of harvested (senescent) banana pseudostems has implications for efficiency of nutrient use for sole cropped as well as intercropped bananas. Two studies were conducted on aspects of nutrient flows from senescent pseudostems. Sixty one and 55% of the initial N and P, respectively, in s...

Lantana camara L., Senna hirsuta (L.) Irwin & Barneby, Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A. Gray, and Aspilia kotschyi du Petit-Thouars occur naturally in eastern and central Uganda. Trimmings of these species were evaluated for effectiveness in improving soil productivity. The plant trimmings varie...
