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...

Revised reference values of available soil phosphorus by Bray I below which bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) yield response to applied P is expected, were 6 and 9 ppm, for January and July soil sampling dates, respectively. Reference values determined for interpretati...

Information is scarce for maize (Zea mays L.) response to nutrient application for many production areas in tropical Africa. Research was conducted to determine macronutrient response functions and to diagnose Mg–S–Zn–B deficiencies. Site–year × N-rate interactions within countries often accounte...

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) productivity is much constrained by water deficits in many production areas in eastern and southern Africa. The DSSAT 3 Drybean model was used to analyze the effects of water deficits on bean using genetic coefficients of four cultivars including an early, determinate...

Fallows improved with tree legumes have a potential role in soil fertility management in the sub-humid tropics. In addition to N2 fixation, deep rooting species can be used to redistribute leached nutrients to the topsoil while producing useful woody by-products. Such fallows are not very effecti...

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...
