For the biological control of Ernnyis ello, an application of Bacillus thuringiensis (400-500 g/ha for aerial applications or 2-3 g/l of water for land applications), together with a surfactant with adherent properties, is recommended. When a hornworm population increase is foreseen due to the in...

Research on lima beans (Phaseolus lunatus) was conducted regarding adaptation, resistance to common bacterial blight (Xanthomonas phaseoli), resistance to leafhoppers (Empoasca kraemeri), and cyanide concn. in lima bean seed. In adaptation studies 36 climbing lima bean lines were selected from th...

The most important bacterial disease of cassava is cassava bacterial blight (CBB). This disease was first recorded in Brazil but was later reported in Colombia and observed in several other countries in South America and Africa. Symptoms of this disease are leaf spotting, wilting, dieback and gum...
Based on the considerations related to the characteristics of cassava, centers of origin, and the traditional system of cultivation, several conclusions were made regarding the relationships between the plant and NPFs, constituted by disease and pest pressures and edaphic and climatic factors. It...

The Central American Adaptation Nursery (VIDAC 1988), comprising the best black- and red-seeded lines evaluated in the 1987 VIDAC, was established to identify well-adapted bean genotypes and obtain information on their degree of resistance to different crop problems. Outstanding (1) black-seeded ...
A summary is presented of results of trials conducted as part of the collaborative agreement between the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario and CIAT on bean research during 1981 in La Selva, Antioquia (Colombia). During germplasm evaluation, 112 promising materials were identified for their adapta...
Advances in research conducted by the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical together with its technicians in Central America, and the close collaboration with national programs are analyzed regarding factors limiting bean productivity in Central America: the bean pod weevil (Apion godmani)...
