A study was initiated to determine the barriers that limit the transferences of genes between Phaseolus vulgaris and P. coccineus. The factors that determine the outcome of this crossing are the direction (success is greater when P. vulgaris is used as the mother parent) and the combination of pa...

Hibridaciones interespecificas para el mejoramiento de Phaseolus vulgaris L.
CIAT is currently the world center for all the germplasm of the genus Phaseolus. The bean program has the main objective of increasing bean production and productivity. Germplasm improvement involves a program of evaluation and identification of genetic diversity, improvement through more effecti...

Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are an important world crop with a relatively low productivity in most cropping systems. Physiological factors influencing yield are discussed in this paper with respect to field research in the tropics. The comparative earliness of the majority of the germpla...

Physiological studies on yield and adaptation in Phaseolus vulgaris L
A report is given on the 4 cultivated species of the genus Phaseolus, studying geographic distribution, taxonomy and morphology, agronomic characteristics and germplasm collection. The areas where Phaseolus vulgaris is extensively cultivated are North, Central and South America, Europe and E. Afr...
Root rots occur in all the zones where beans are cultivated in the world. Fusarium spp., Pythium spp., Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii, and Macrophomina phaseoli are found among the responsable microorganisms. Each pathogen developes according to its own optimum conditions. Problems are gr...
The geographical area involved in the CIAT Great Lakes bean project is described in detail, giving particular emphasis to Rwanda and the North and South Kivu subregions of Zaire. General information is also included on population, climate, and soils. Statistics on bean production, area planted, a...

Studies on the biology and damage caused by bean pests Diabrotica balteata and Cerotoma facialis have been conducted at CIAT since 1977. The biology of the 2 species is similar in many aspects. Life cycle is as follows: eggs, 6-7 days; 1st larval instar, 3-4 days; 2nd instar, 2-3 days; and 3rd in...

The method of selection used by CIATs climbing bean program is between the pedigree method (lineage) and the bulk population method. This method reduces the variation of each hybrid population in F, by individual selection. The evaluation of the germplasm bank was conducted in Popayan (1850 m abo...
