Physiological studies on yield and adaptation in Phaseolus vulgaris L
Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are an important world crop with a relatively low productivity in most cropping systems. Physiological factors influencing yield are discussed in this paper with respect to field research in the tropics. The comparative earliness of the majority of the germplasm is closely associated with suboptimal canopy devel...
Soil microbiology
El objetivo de la seccion de Microbiologia de suelos es maximizar los beneficios de la fijacion biologica del N en forrajes adaptados a los suelos acidos e infertiles de America Latina tropical, con prioridad en la simbiosis leguminosa/Rhizobium. La estrategia de la investigacion consiste en: 1) mantener y aumentar los recursos de germoplasma de Rh...

En 1977 se inicio la evaluacion de los recursos de tierra para estudiar las regiones de Oxisoles y Ultisoles en America del Sur, con el objeto de ayudar a establecer prioridades tecnicas para el mejoramiento de la tierra. Esta parte del trabajo se completo en 1979, pero el estudio ha sido ampliado para proporcionar informacion sobre otros cultivos ...
Economic evaluation of beef production systems in the Llanos Orientales of Colombia
An ongoing appraisal of the savanna ecosystems of Tropical America for beef cattle production
Informe de trabajos 1979: Convenio ICA-CIAT: Programa de frijol
Different assays on climbing beans in relay cropping or associated with maize, N fixation and Rhizobium inoculation, and bush beans in monoculture are reported. These were conducted in La Selva, Antioquia (Colombia), through a collaborative project between the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA) and CIAT. A total of 56 materials were selected f...
