Abstract
Several traditional methods of maintaining soil fertility in bean-based cropping systems are reviewed as follows: visoso, large- scale chitemene, ngoro or matengo pit (Mbinga District, Tanzania), mambwe land-use system of northern Zambia (fundikila), mounds of the Wafipas (SW Tanzania), tumba land-use system (southern Tanzania), guie (central highlands of Ethiopia),…

Abstract
The main activity consisted of climatic data base validation and error correction. A sensitive technique of error detection was developed, based on the relative amplitudes of the high and low frequencies of the Fourier transform. The Bean Program desired to obtain a characterization and listing of areas susceptible to anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) attack, including production…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/82353
Abstract
The activities on character deployment involve the recombination or use of desirable characters (e.g., level of resistance to diseases and insect pests, tolerance to drought, ability to fix atmospheric N) in commercial cv., according to the needs of the particular production region for which the material is intended. Those activities include the distribution of adaptation nurseries, release of new…

Abstract
The CIAT Bean Program uses a 3-stage progeny evaluation program asfollows: (a) the VEF, which in 1984 contained 1004 entries distributed in 10 groups according to seed color and size, growth habit (bush or climbing), and climatic adaptation; (b) the EP, which consisted of 446 entries and 38 controls, distributed in 14 groups according to seed size and color, and growth habit, each group…

Abstract
The objectives of the diagnosis of bean production are to (1) contribute criteria for the design and completion of on-farm trials of the new bean technology and (2) to take information to research centers that helps define bean research priorities. A summary is presented of the methodology suggested and practiced in national and international courses on on-farm…

Abstract
Coffee is grown in more than 60 tropical countries on over 11 million ha by an estimated 25 million farmers, most of whom are smallholders. Several regional studies demonstrate the climate sensitivity of coffee (Coffea arabica) and the likely impact of climate change on coffee suitability, yield, increased pest and disease pressure and farmers’…
