Beyene, S.Cafer, A.Kumsa, A.Namara, Regassa E.Tesfaye, K.Wolde-Hawariat, Y.Yoder, R.Hames, R.Wortmann, Charles S.[Pathways to greater food production: lessons from Ethiopia.]Pathways to greater food production: lessons from Ethiopia.

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...


Wortmann, Charles S.[An adaptation breeding strategy for water deficit in bean developed with the application of DSSAT3 drybean model]An adaptation breeding strategy for water deficit in bean developed with the application of DSSAT3 drybean model

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...

Bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris check for this species in other resources L.) production in Africa is constrained by edaphic stresses. A pan-African effort, Bean Improvement for Low Fertility in Africa (BILFA), was initiated in 1990 to screen beans for tolerance to several edaphic stresses. In the fir...

Beans and bananas were grown in sole crop and intercrop systems for three seasons in 1989 and 1990 to determine the effects of cropping system on diseases, insects and land-use efficiency and the roles of certain bean plant physiological traits on bean yield in the two systems. Bean yield in the ...


Wortmann, Charles S.Sengooba, TNKKyamanywa, S.[Banana and bean intercropping: factors affecting bean yield and land use efficiency]Banana and bean intercropping: factors affecting bean yield and land use efficiency

Inadequate nitrogen nutrition is a major constraint to the performance of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in sub-Saharan Africa. Twenty six lines selected for good performance under N-limiting conditions were further evaluated at two locations in Uganda to determine the mechanisms allowing go...


Wortmann, Charles S.Silver-Rwakaikara, MLynch, J[Efficiency of nitrogen acquisition and utilisation in common bean in Uganda]Efficiency of nitrogen acquisition and utilisation in common bean in Uganda

Maize (Zea mays L.) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are commonly grown in association in eastern and southern Africa. Results from 64-fertilizer response trials conducted in Kenya were used to study the relationship between maize monoculture response to fertilizer nitrogen and phosphorus and the...


Wortmann, Charles S.Schnier, HFMuriuki, AW[Estimation of the fertilizer response of maize and bean intercropping using sole crop response equations]Estimation of the fertilizer response of maize and bean intercropping using sole crop response equations

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important food and cash crop grown in diverse environmental settings in Ethiopia. Its production is very heterogenous in terms of ecology, cropping system and yield. This study analyses the agroclimatic resources of 18 representative bean growing sites in Ethiop...
