CIATs collection of promising bean lines was evaluated over a 2- mo period for resistance to web blight (Rhizoctonia microsclerotia) on a highly infested soil in Esparza, Costa Rica, where conditions are very favorable for the development of this disease. A scale of 1-5 was used, based on the per...

Evaluacion de variedades promisorias de frijol (P. vulgaris) a la incidencia de "telarana" o "mustia"
The low cassava yields obtained in L.A. at present are the result of a complex of problems: 1) deficient quality of planting material, which results in low sprouting, poor rooting and little initial vigor; 2) inadequate land preparation and planting systems; 3) control systems for pests and disea...

The work done by CIAT`s bean breeding program has as its basic objective the production of bean populations and lines with high yielding potential. With a germplasm bank consisting of 9,413 introductions of P. vulgaris at present, it has been possible to conduct adaptation studies under 4 differe...

Current methodologies and selection criteria used to screen and adapt var. for intercropping systems, especially beans/maize associations, in the tropics are reviewed. The overall importance of intercropping systems in the tropics is discussed as well as general plant characteristics useful for t...

The concepts of adaptability and stability and their relative importance in beans are defined as well as the different methods used to measure them. Based on data submitted by the International Bean Yield and Adaptation Nursery (IBYAN) for 1976, different stability values were calculated using 3 ...

The simultaneous effect that lateral and end border rows may have on yield was studied in experimental plots at CIAT (Palmira, Colombia), using 25 black bean varieties in a 5 x 5 balanced lattice design with 6 replications. Plots measured 12 m(2) (6 rows, 4 m long). Unharvested end rows measured ...
