El frijol es la leguminosa cultivada mas importante en Suazilandia. El area sembrada ha variado entre 2167 ha en 1976 y 1500 ha en 1983, correspondiendo a solo 3 por ciento del area total cultivable. Los rendimientos prom. son bajos (200 kg/ha). Se distinguen 4 zonas agroecologicas--estepas alta, media y baja y Lubombo--de las cuales la estepa media es la mas importante para produccion de frijol. El frijol se cultiva generalmente en asociacion con maiz en siembra temprana y en monocultivo en siembra tardia o con riego. Las principales limitaciones son el ataque de plagas y enfermedades y la falta de insumos (incluyendo semillas de cv. apropiados), tecnologia de produccion, capital y mercados. Los materiales de CIAT han mostrado aumentos sustanciales en rendimiento sobre los cv. recomendados Bono y Contender; 6 de ellos se estan evaluando en fincas. Se han establecido procedimientos de evaluacion sistematica y de liberacion y multiplicacion de semillas. (RA-CIAT)
The dry bean is the most important legume grown in Swaziland. Area has varied between 2,167 ha in 1976 to 1500 ha in 1983, accounting for only 3 percent of the total arable land. Average yields are poor (200 kg/ha). Four agroecological zones are distinguished - highveld, middleveld, lowveld and Lubombo - of which the middleveld is the most important for bean production. Beans are usually grown in intercrop with maize when sown early and as sole crops when sown late or irrigated. The main constraints are: pests and diseases; and lack of inputs (including seeds of suitable cultivars), production technology, capital and markets. CIAT materials have exhibited substantial yield improvements over the recommended cultivars, Bonus and Contender, and six are being tested on farm. Systematic testing and seed release and multiplication procedures have been established. (AS)
