dc.titleBackground information on bean production in the fertile crescent zone of Ugandaen
dcterms.abstractThe fertile crecent zone lies within the first 100 km of lake Victoria. It has medium to high fertility soils. The total annual rainfall is around 1000 mm with peak periods from March to June and from September to December. The area is classified as the robusta coffee/banana farming system zone. Beans are largely produced in association with other crops, with maize and bananas being the most important. Bean production in this zone is 14-17 percent of national production. Beans are used primarily for home consumption, but sales are common. Large to medium size grain types are preferred. The major production problems range from biotic and abiotic to social economical factors. (AS)en
dcterms.abstractLa zona de la creciente fertil se localiza dentro de los primeros 100 km del lago Victoria. Posee suelos de fertilidad media a alta. La precipitacion anual total es alrededor de 1000 mm con periodos pico de marzo a junio y de sept. a dic. El area se clasifica como zona de sistema de cultivo cafe robusta/banano. El frijol se produce principalmente en asociacion con otros cultivos, siendo los mas importantes el maiz y el banano. La produccion de frijol en esta zona representa el 14-17 por ciento de la produccion nacional. El frijol se utiliza fundamentalmente para consumo domestico, aunque es comun la venta. Se prefieren los tipos de grano de tamano grande a mediano. Los principales problemas de la produccion varian desde los factores bioticos y abioticos hasta los socioeconomicos. (RA-CIAT)en
