Root hair length evaluated
A field trial was conducted during the dry season (May to July 2016) at Darien, Valle del Cauca-Colombia, The BASE (Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation). The BASE trial included 80 bean genotypes: 58 belong to Mesoamerican gene ...
Demand is quantified for common bean
This objective was completed ahead of schedule, but a summary is presented here. Data on production of pulses and human population suggest that per capita consumption must be declining. This raises critical questions among ...
Orobanche resistance in faba bean and lentil
In order to identify resistance sources, 216 lentil and 194 faba bean elite lines and 280 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of a faba bean cross (BPL710 x ILB4347) were screened against Orobanche crenata in a
sick plot at ...
Climbing beans with acceptable color, resistances and fixing more than 50 kg/ha N tested in African production environments
Improved lines are both developed locally and received from CIAT headquarters in Colombia. Initial testing of lines has often been carried out with the national program of Rwanda, and in CIAT’s facilities within the campus ...

Is nitrogen accumulation in grain legumes responsive to growth or ontogeny?
Nitrogen (N) accumulation in legumes is one of the main determinants of crop
yield. Although N accumulation from symbiotic nitrogen fixation or N absorption
from the soil has been widely investigated, there is no clear ...
Developing new bean products in Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda through private sector collaborations
One of the initiatives targeted “dry” precooked beans and the other “wet” precooked beans. The “dry” precooked bean is dehydrated after processing but retains the main character of the dry beans (colour, storage under ...
Compilation of seed distribution
Improved access to quality seed of improved varieties of their choices by women farmers through various mechanisms including deliberate efforts to engage women farmers in the participatory varieties selection; empowerment ...
QDS of bush beans is established as a viable alternative to certified seed
In collaboration with local seed service, development partners organizations (Dos) e.g. NGOs/farmers organizations and public extension were enabled by PABRA members to select farmers who are able to produce and market ...
Common bean lines identified as resistant to soil pathogens to serve as sources for Andean beans
Greenhouse infrastructure was adapted to control and monitor constantly soil moisture through the installation of an automatic watering system that included pipes, sensors, and data loggers (Figure 1). We are reporting the ...
