Research carried out to evaluate management options and animal production potential of native and improved pastures in savanna regions of tropical America is reviewed, with emphasis on Colombia's Eastern Plains. In areas with limited infrastructure native grasses are the main forage resource and ...

Crosses between common bean genotypes from different centres of origin can result in F1 plants with dwarfing that is severe enough to prevent formation of F2 seed. This hybrid dwarfness is controlled by two complementary genes, Dl-1 and Dl-2. The dominant alleles at both loci must be present to c...

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...

Los sistemas ganaderos de doble propósito representan el 78% del inventario ganadero en América Latina tropical y contribuyen con aproximadamente el 42% de la leche producida. Sin embargo, se caracterizan por baja productividad animal debido a sistemas deficientes de alimentación basados básicame...

A fin de establecer posibles relaciones entre las variaciones morfológicas y el tipo de faseolina (proteína de almacenamiento) con los centros de domesticación y origen de Phaseolus vulgaris con características dehabichuela, se estudiaron 116 accesiones conservadas en el Banco de Germoplasma de l...

The genetics of resistance to bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) was studied in an 8×8 complete diallel cross of common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. The 28F1 hybrids, their reciprocals, and eight parents were artificially inoculated with BGMV under glasshouse conditions. Data were recorded and analyz...

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...

Tropical soils are particularly vulnerable to fertility losses due to their low capacity to retain organic matter and mineral nutrients. This urges the development of new agricultural practices to manage mineral nutrients and organic matter in a more sustainable way while relying less on fertiliz...

Greenhouse studies on pathogenic variability of Xanthomonas manihotis did not reveal the occurrence of distinct pathogenic races. The non-race status of the pathogen suggests that CBB could be well-controlled in the field by using known levels of genotype resistance in specific ecosystems and by ...
