Evaluation of effectiveness of rhizobia isolates from Rwandan soils on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Greenhouse and field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of rhizobia isolates from two Rwandan soils and their effectiveness on two types of common bean under different agro ecological zones. A preliminary greenhouse experiment using Leonard Jars in Rubona Station was conducted to evaluate the potential of 174 rhizobia isolates. A selection criterion was based on nodule number, color, size and nodule weight. After 21 days, the best 50 isolates were selected for further evaluation in pots.

Dissemination Approaches for Scaling Up Improved Legume Technologies in Tanzania

A number of projects in Tanzania jointly developed and used innovative and complementary communication approaches to scale-up improved legume technologies and established sustainable input supply systems. To assess the effectiveness of these communications approaches, N2Africa, the Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI), Farm Radio International (FRI) and other partners designed a survey tool using Computer Aided Telephone Interviews (CATI).
