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 ...

Desmodium wart, caused by Synchytrium desmodii, severely reduced soil seed reserves, seedling survival, and recruitment of adult plants of Desmodium ovalifolium ‘CIAT 350’ to the pasture sward from 1985 to 1988 at Carimagua in the eastern plains of Colombia. Under nonflooded conditions, wart did ...

Many food production systems in sub-Saharan Africa are constrained by phosphorus (P). We hypothesized that within legume-cereal rotation systems: targeting P to the legume phase leads to higher system productivity, and that use of grain legumes leads to better economic returns than use of herbace...

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...

Adaptation of new accessions of Panicum maximum to an acid Oxisol (pH 4.8, 90% AI saturation) was assessed over 3 years on 2 sites of contrasting soil texture at the Carimagua Research Station, in the Eastern Plains of Colombia. Twenty-seven lines, selected originally from a collection of 436 acc...

Adaptation of Centrosema to an acid Ultisol (pH 4.1, 89% Al saturation), was assessed using a collection of 133 accessions representing 12 species, in a preliminary evaluation trial conducted at Santander de Quilichao, Colombia. On the basis of vigour ratings over a period of 21 months, the teste...
The genetic basis of early bulking in cassava was studied in a replicated, multi-locational trial using 144 F1 progeny derived from an intra-specific cross between two non-inbred parents. A second, sequential harvest experiment examined the relative importance of eight yield-related traits on ear...
