El Programa de Arroz del CIAT ha intensificado el mejoramiento de la tolerancia a los suelos ácidos de sabana. Las principales limitantes del arroz en este ecosistema son: falta de variedades de arroz adaptadas a los suelos ácidos e infértiles, limitaciones biológicas (enfermedades e insectos), e información inadecuada sobre algunas prácticas agronómicas. El mejoramiento varietal se ha orientado hacia el desarrollo de variedades de arroz aptas para producir en un sistema de mínimos insumos. Se describe un procedimiento para la selección de variedades en el campo.

Caracteristicas agronomicas de la produccion de raices y tuberculos: implicaciones para el diagnostico
Important agronomic characteristics of common root and tuber crop production systems in the tropics are indicated for crops including cassava, yam, sweet potato, and edible aroids. Brief comments are also included on aspects that help correctly interpret the information obtained during the characterization process. The general context of agricultural production is analyzed, and within this context, the particular case of root crops, where the process of transformation into derived products, at both farm and regional levels, may condition the agronomic practices used.
