Characteristics of the major soil groups found in bean-growing areas of Africa (Alfisols, Ultisols, Oxisols, Inceptisols) and associated nutritional disorders are discussed. Soil fertility factors affecting bean growth and N fixation, as evidenced in research conducted in Africa, are reviewed as ...

Diagnosis of soil fertility constraints in bean based cropping systems: review of research results
Results of research work carried out in Africa on the response of beans to NPK fertilizers, liming, S and other secondary/micronutrients, and organic manures are reviewed. Band or spot placement of P, fertilizer management in multiple crop systems, and correlations between soil data, yields, and ...

Research methods for the diagnosis of soil fertility problems
Results of research on soil fertility management for bean production in Uganda are explored. The occurrence and severity of soil fertility problems as constraints to bean production are examined and additional research needs are suggested. Results of trials conducted on research station and farme...
Se examinan los resultados de investigaciones en manejo de la fertilidad del suelo para la produccion de frijol en Uganda y la presencia y severidad de los problemas de fertilidad del suelo como factores limitantes de la produccion de este cultivo.

Soil fertility and bean nutrition in Uganda: A review and future research needs
Bean yields are expected to increase due to improved varieties and better cultural and harvesting practices. Higher yields increase the nutrient requirements of the bean crops and the complexity of management. Better low input management practices will be needed for beans grown in pure stand and ...
