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...

Bean agronomy and on-farm research in Uganda: A review and future research needs
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...

Crotalaria ochroleuca as a green manure crop in Uganda
The need for farmer participation, considering the complexity and diversity of bean production systems in Uganda, is highlighted. Through on-farm experimentation, technologies can be evaluated under farmers` environmental and managerial conditions. Farmer participation in bean research in the cou...

Drawing on results of a survey of Ugandan farmers who previously hosted bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varietal trials, this paper reports on the adoption of three new bush bean cultivars and assesses the usefulness of post-trial surveys as a methodology for obtaining reliable early feedback on var...

Using trial follow-up surveys to assess varietal adoption: The case of beans
Nine advanced bean lines (MCM 5001, CAL 96, RWR 136, AFR 531, AFR 509, UGP 6088, PVA 698, SUG 50 white haricot) were tested on-farm for two seasons of 1992 in Bushenyi, Iganga, Kabale, Luwero, Mbarara, Mpigi, Mubende and Nebbi districts of Uganda. The objective was to evaluate the performance and...
