Carbon fractions as sensitive indicators of quality of soil organic matter
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/55132
Abstract
Soil organic matter quality is usually seen as a major attribute of soil quality. In this study, we extracted organic carbon with water (WEOC) or with potassium permanganate (PEOC). We assessed these extractions for their potential as sensitive indicators of the effect of land use on two important soil functions: biological activity and nutrient…

Abstract
Studies on yield potential continued at CIAT with the reevaluation of agronomic practices for max. yield. A considerable effort was invested in the production of erect, type IIa lines. Unfortunately, these lines have not shown the yield potential expected, possibly due to their erect habit, which makes them incapable of achieving full canopy…

Abstract
In 1985 the Bean Project for Central America and the Caribbean, including tropical Mexico and Panama, continued to generate technology for national programs. On-farm trials and planting of nurseries were increased in each country; this resulted in the identification of promising materials superior to those which are presently in use. Good progress was…
