The concern for the well-being of land is often directly related to one’s proximity to the land, be it physically, economically or culturally. Land is more precious if one’s livelihood depend on it immediately than if one ...
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 ...
Farm type-specific determinants of crop productivity in Riviridzi catchment, Ntcheu Malawi
Closing the yield gap among the communities is seen as the step towards alleviating food insecurity and poverty. The casual effects of the actual yields observed in the study area shows that pooled analyses across farm ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Livelihood type-specific determinants of household’s choices of land use and farm management practices, and crop productivity in Riviridzi catchment, Ntcheu Malawi
The study has found different impacts of socio-ecological factors on cropping, fertilizer use and soil and water conservation practices when analyses are done at whole sample or farm type specific. Household behaviour also ...
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 ...
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 ...
Phenotypic differences in adaptation to combined stress of inadequate P supply and drought (BASE 80 trial)
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 ...
