description On-farm research activities in 1986 continued in the areas of training, network establishment, methodology adaptation, technology development on-farm, and technology adaptation to specific areas. One early result is a better understanding of the variability in the adaptation of the newly adopted var. Gloriabamba in different parts of Cajamarca, Peru. In Ipiales, Colombia, a wide selection of technologies which can be adopted one by one is now available to the farmer. Frijolica LS 3.3, released by the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario in 1985, is being tested in farmer-managed trials in San Vicente (Antioquia, Colombia). Farmers in the area of Funes (Colombia) have adopted the bush bean line Ancash 66, apparently because of its tolerance to poor soils. Agronomic results between exptl. station and on-farm research are analyzed and compared. Results indicate the need for fertilizer, density, and plant protection practices to be developed and tested from an early stage on-farm. For these practices, station trials, however well conducted, are likely to be misleading. (CIAT)

(CIAT) Las actividades de investigacion en fincas en 1986 continuaron en las areas de capacitacion, establecimiento de redes, adaptacion de metodologias, desarrollo de tecnologias a nivel de finca y adaptacion de tecnologias a areas especificas. Un primer resultado constituye un mejor entendimiento de la variabilidad en la adaptacion de la var. Gloriabamba, recien adoptada en diferentes partes de Cajamarca, Peru. En Ipiales, Colombia, ahora se encuentra disponible una amplia seleccion de tecnologias que el agricultor puede adoptar una a una. Frijolica LS 3.3, liberada en 1985 por el Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario, se esta probando en ensayos manejados por el agricultor en San Vicente (Antioquia, Colombia). Los agricultores del area de Funes (Colombia) han adoptado la linea de frijol arbustivo Ancash 66, aparentemente debido a su tolerancia a suelos pobres. Se analizan y comparan los resultados agronomicos entre las investigaciones en estacion exptl. y las a nivel de finca. Los resultados indican la necesidad de practicas de fertilizacion, densidad y proteccion de plantas que han de desarrollarse y probarse desde las primeras etapas en fincas. Para dichas practicas, aunque los ensayos en las estaciones esten bien dirigidos, es posible que resulten enganosos.
