Resistance to Fusarium root rot (FRR) in common bean is documented as a quantitative trait and as
such is greatly influenced by several environmental factors. A reproducible disease screening
technique that considers the selection environment is therefore important in selecting resistant lines....

In low-input systems, where most nutrients become available from soil organic matter (SOM) and residue turnover, the applicability of DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) crop simulation models is limited because (i) it recognizes only one type of SOM (i.e., humus) and rece...

South Asia comes across as amongst the most vulnerable regions to climate change in the Inter-government Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s Fifth Assessment Report released a year ago, and in other similar reports. Climate change in the region is manifested by depleting glaciers, increasing coastal...

Development and population growth in Latin American countries with steep slope farming are likely to further increase pressures on water and land resources. A methodology was developed for assessing water availability and use under different development pathways at a watershed scale to determine ...

Information which is generated but not disseminated in a form which is of use to those who need it is information wasted. Diffusion of new ideas, experiences, and technologies lies at the heart of sound development policy. In Kenya, the need to...
On-farm and on-station field experiments were carried out to determine the potential of combining Bacillus subtilis with soil fertility management practices on plant parasitic nematodes and growth of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The treatments were Bacillus subtilis (isolate K194), B. subtil...

Smallholder farmers in East-Africa commonly intercrop maize (Zea mays L.) with grain legumes to maximize utilisation of land and labour, and attain larger crop yields. Conventionally, one legume line is intercropped between each pair of maize lines. This study evaluated the potential of a modifie...
