Abstract/Description
In 1986 the project in Peru concentrated on 3 main activities: genetic improvement, seed production, and scientific training. The most significant advances in the coastal region consisted of the introduction of 35 advanced Canario type, BCMV-resistant bean lines. These lines were also evaluated in on-farm trials to determine which to release officially. The production of basic bean seed was promoted in Lambayeque, Arequipa, Cajamarca, and Valle de Chincha, and more than 150 ha were planted. Six scientists of the Instituto Nacional de investigaciones y Promocion Agraria working on beans, participated in training courses given at CIAT, and others took courses in Peru. (CIAT)
En 1986 el proyecto en Peru se concentro en 3 actividades principales: mejoramiento genetico, produccion de semilla y capacitacion cientifica. Los avances mas significativos en la region costera consistieron en la introduccion de 35 lineas avanzadas de frijol tipo Canario, resistentes a BCMV. Estas lineas tambien se evaluaron en ensayos en finca para determinar cuales se liberarian oficialmente. Se fomento la produccion de semilla basica de frijol en Lambayeque, Arequipa, Cajamarca y Valle de Chincha, y se sembraron mas de 150 ha. Seis cientificos del Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones y Promocion Agraria que trabajan en frijol, participaron en los cursos de capacitacion ofrecidos por CIAT, y otros cientificos tomaron cursos en Peru.
