Bean production problems
Efecto de tres niveles de fertilidad sobre la produccion de pastos tropicales en un ultisol de Colombia
Potencial agricola del frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) en los paises andinos
Data are given of area planted to beans, production, and yields in the Andean countries during 1964-66, 1974-76, and 1978; production, trade, and consumption during 1963-65 and 1973-75; and production, area, and yield growth rates during 1966-76. Constraints for bean productivity, cropping systems, and the main bean types consumed in the Andean countries are indicated. Finally, the potential of this crop is analyzed and data of land use and population patterns in the Andean countries are included. (CIAT)
The effect of a period of water shortage on the growth and yield of cassava
Drought stress was imposed on 2 cassava cv. (M Col 22 and M Mex 59) at Santander de Quilichao (Colombia), by withholding rainfall from field plots (plastic covers were placed over the soil surface) for 10 wk, commencing when crops were 12 wk old. The plants were then allowed to recuperate until the expt was terminated at 10 mo. Harvests were taken at intervals through the growth cycle and were supplemented with measurements of fine root distribution, leaf production and senescence, soil and plant water status, and stomatal response. As a result of the stress, the late-developing cv.
