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...

A method for comparing locations as selection sites based upon their abilities to predict yield and disease reaction over a target region is proposed. The probability of coincidence in selection for a site is defined as the probability for a line selected at the site to be selected at other sites...

Assessment of maize yield gap and major determinant factors between smallholder farmers in the Dedza district of Malawi
Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a major crop in Eastern and Southern Africa, but yields are low. Climbing bean is much more productive than bush bean and is gaining importance with small scale farmers. Our objectives were to: compare nutrient balances with climbing and bush bean in a grain sorghu...

Maintenance of soil organic matter (SOM) at levels that sustain optimal supply of soil nutrients and enhance efficiency of externally added fertilizers is a major challenge for smallholder farming systems of southern Africa. A study was conducted to quantify the interactive effects of organic res...

Organic matter quality and management effects on enrichment of soil organic matter fractions in contrasting soils in Zimbabwe
We conducted field experiments over 2 years on two acid soils of southern Cameroon to test whether efficient uptake and use of phosphorus (P) from less available sources by grain legume genotypes could benefit subsequent rotational maize. We grew two crops each year. For the first crop we grew 4 ...

Agronomic assessment of 76 accessions of tropical fine stem stylo or "tardio" (Stylosanthes guianensis Sw. var. guianensis) was carried out at the Carimagua Research Station in the eastern plains region of Colombia. Of 27 accessions tested for dry matter yield, CIAT 10136 was the highest yielder ...
