The potential of snap beans as a crop for small farmers in the tropics
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/80340
Abstract
Snap beans may offer a very attractive alternative for small farmers in the tropics with good access to markets and willing to take some risks. Snap beans yield high return to land and provide employment opportunities. The small farmer producing snap beans for the market will be able to generate a cash flow that allows significant investment in…

Use of grafting to characterize and alleviate hybrid dwarfness in common bean
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/44209
Abstract
Crosses between common bean genotypes from different centres of origin can result in F1 plants with dwarfing that is severe enough to prevent formation of F2 seed. This hybrid dwarfness is controlled by two complementary genes, Dl-1 and Dl-2. The dominant alleles at both loci must be present to cause dwarfing, and an increased dose of either…

Quantitative trait loci for root architecture traits correlated with phosphorus acquisition in common bean
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/43997
Abstract
Low soil P availability is a primary constraint to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in Latin America and Africa. Substantial genotypic variation in bean adaptation to low phosphorus (LP) availability has been linked with root traits that enhance the efficiency of soil foraging. The objectives of this…

Phosphorus transformations in an oxisol under contrasting land-use systems: The role of the soil microbial biomass
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/43949
Abstract
It is generally assumed that phosphorus (P) availability for plant growth on highly weathered and P-deficient tropical soils may depend more on biologically mediated organic P (Po) turnover processes than on the release of adsorbed inorganic P (Pi). However, experimental evidence showing the linkages…
