The importance of traditional intercropping in the tropics is analyzed, mentioning statistics that emphasize the worldwide importance of this cropping system. Terms that describe multiple cropping systems are defined: sequential cropping (double, triple, and quadruple cropping, and ratooning), as...
Strategies, achievements, and challenges in bean research at CIAT are analyzed and discussed. Research strategy emphasis has been to reduce losses caused by diseases and pests. This strategy has, in general, not lead to yield increases. A change in research emphasis is, therefore, proposed. This ...

Results and methodology of diagnostic trials on common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) in Rwanda: a critical appraisal
Diseases are one of the limiting factors to bean production in L.A. The prevalency and severity of the disease depends on the quantity of inoculum existing in the region, environmental conditions and the quality of the seed used. Data are given on geographic distribution, favorable climatic condi...
Timely evaluation of new technology performance is extremely important for international research centers. As part of the evaluation efforts of new bean technology currently in process at CIAT, a mathematical model of the bean farm is being implemented. One of its features is the incorporation of...
