SARI-Northern Tanzania<br />

The team in Selian Research Station in Arusha received lines <strong>of</strong> the fast track nursery from the University<br />

<strong>of</strong> Nairobi, and followed up over several cycles <strong>of</strong> testing. Lines were divided into two groups: bush<br />

types and indeterminate vining types, and were yield-tested on-farm in three regions (Tables 6-12<br />

and 6-13). Lines were also subjected to PVS evaluation with farmers using colored ribbons to express<br />

favorable or unfavorable opinions <strong>of</strong> the materials (Figure 6-7). Farmers’ criteria are presented in Tables<br />

14 and 15. Lines which expressed better yields and were also rated well by farmers include F9 Kidney<br />

selection (15), F8 Drought line (36), and Dwarf climber (6).<br />
