Epidemiology of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) web blight (BWB) caused by Thanatephorus cucumeris (teleomorph of Rhizoctonia solani) was studied in a field with a history of severe incidence of the disease. Sclerotia and mycelium of T. cucumeris, either free in soil or in the form of colonized debris,...

Nineteen early maturing, indeterminate common bean parents were crossed with a tester line of normal maturity. All parents, F1 hybrids, F2's, and backcross generations were evaluated at CIAT-Palmira, Colombia. All 19F1 populations flowered and matured almost as early as the respective early paren...

Field inoculation trials with cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) were conducted in Quilichao (typic Dystropept soil) and Carimagua (Haplustox soil). In Quilichao, with a large and effective native VA-mycorrhizal (VAM) population, inoculation withGlomus manihotis did not increase cassava yields si...

Fifty-three bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) accessions were evaluated for their reactions to infection by Macrophomina phaseolina under field and greenhouse conditions. A field nursery was established on an experimental farm near Santander de Quilichao, Colombia. All accessions were evaluated in paired...

A Brazilian isolate of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli (F. o. f. sp. phaseoli) was used to determine the reactions of 66 lines of beans to the Fusarium yellows pathogen in greenhouse tests. The distal 1 cm of root tips of 1-wk-old seedlings grown in sterilized sand were removed, roots were dip...

Over 150 bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) pure lines and accessions were evaluated in growth chamber and greenhouse trials for reactions to one or more populations of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) collected from Colombia or the United States. Bean pure lines and accessions were evaluated for ro...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is nodulated by a heterogeneous group of Rhizobium strains. In a search for host plant restriction of nodulation by some of these strains, 50 wild and cultivated bean accessions were evaluated for the length of time taken to form effective nodules with three di...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a staple food for a large sector of human population in the tropics. It is widely produced for its starchy roots by small farmers over a range of environments on poor infertile soils with virtually no inputs. It is highly productive under favorable conditions...
A survey of root-knot nematodes associated with bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) roots and soils in the major bean production regions of Colombia and Peru was conducted during 1988 1989. Over 150 samples were processed for these parasites, and specimens from more than 100 of the collections were identif...

One necrosis-inducing strain and four mosaic-inducing strains of bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) were differentially seed-transmitted in 14 mosaic-susceptible bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cultivars. Dubbele Witte, Redlands Greenleaf B, Michelite, Sanilac, and Red Mexican 35 consistently transmitted ...
