Based upon IBPGR (IPGRI) morphologic descriptors, 560 accessions of Benin Republic's cultivated yams (Dioscorea ccayenensis/Dioscorea rotundata complex were morphologically characterized. Ninety morphotypes were identified and accessions were classified into 26 varietal groups according to their ...
Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC. cv.-group utilis) is widely promoted in tropical and sub-tropical regions as a green manure cover crop that can reduce weed growth and soil erosion and enhance soil fertility. To provide these benefits, the crop must attain rapid ground cover and develop subs...

Seed multiplication, agronomic evaluation, and identification of parental genotypes for interspecific hybridization with Phaseolus vulgaris constitute the main research activities carried out in the P. coccineus collection (around 1600 accessions) held by CIAT. In 1985, 3 Ascochyta screening tria...

An expt. was established in Esparza (Costa Rica), on the integrated management of web blight (Thanatephorus cucumeris) in common beans under the min. tillage system. Var. Porrillo 70 (intermediate resistance) and ICA Pijao (susceptible) were used. Herbicides gliphosate and paraquat (1.0 kg/ha) of...

Investigations were conducted at CIAT to develop methodology required to evaluate resistance to Isariopsis griseola inherent in bean germplasm and breeding progeny. Abundant sporulation by the pathogen has been achieved by growing isolates in the lab. on V-8 medium incubated at 19 degrees Celsius...

Six Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli strains (Ciat 151, Ciat 895, Ciat 899, CE3, H2C, Kim5s) were tested for nodule occupancy in different bean cultivars at two field sites (one fertile, one acid tropical soil) and in the greenhouse. The effects of several environmental factors such as low pH...

The importance of rice production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has significantly increased over the past decades. Currently, rice plays a pivotal role in improving household food security and national economies in SSA. However, current rice productivity of smallholder farms is low due to a myriad ...
