El ambiente de seleccion, lugar, epoca de siembra, inoculacion, fertilidad: la importancia de escoger el ambiente a reflejar las caracteristicas varietales buscadas en el programa de seleccion

Identifying adequate environmental conditions (alt., temp., RH) is recommended for var. selection. The exptl. site for adaptation and yield nurseries must be a representative bean producing area, with high-or low-fertility soils, where constraints persist systematically. Planting time should also be consistent with the objective of the breeding program, either for yield or for disease and pest resistance. (CIAT)
