As part of CATIE's project to develop site-specific cultivation systems for improving small farm productivity in Central America, the main characteristics of an alternative maize-bean cultivation system - designed to be incorporated into the traditional maize-bean-potato system of La Esperanza, Honduras - are herein described. The report focuses on results and evaluations of on-farm trials of the proposed system. First, the traditional farm management and cultivation practices for maize and beans in the high plateau region and technical options for improving them, which center on shorter distances between plantings and use of Cytrolane for pest/disease control, are described. Next, the recommendation domain for the proposed system is outlined, including characteristics of the region (geographic and climatic aspects, geology and soils, vegetation, available extension services) and of the farmers most likely to benefit. A third chapter analyzes the technical and economic feasibility of the new technology by comparing its agronomic/economic indicators with those of the traditional system. Finally, the experimental research methodology and results are presented.

Districts, regions and facilities the program's own documents name, with what the document says it did there. Source: sentences in the program's documents
Districts, regions and facilities named in the program's own documents, not verified sites. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far.
Sample Built from district names in Malawi documents while the full place data loads; it is not yet the finished place list.
Solid: the documents describe the program's work there. Faint: named in the program's documents. Bigger means more mentions. Shown: region or province, district; squares are facilities.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule
Scope: regional. How the scope was set is not described yet. High confidence.
How sure we are: 0.9.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
