While the fast track entries were recovered and cycled through the evaluation scheme, lines selected<br />

previously under a parallel project were advanced and are at the point <strong>of</strong> release. Across four sites including<br />

two on-farm sites in the north <strong>of</strong> Malawi (CHS and BOK), small red seeded lines out-yielded the local check<br />

CAL 143 by as much as 50% (Table 6-17). Although not the most preferred type in Malawi, small red beans<br />

do appear in local mixtures. The national program is considering the release <strong>of</strong> SER 83 and SER 45.<br />

A total <strong>of</strong> 1007 lines were first evaluated <strong>for</strong> adaptation and photosensitive response under irrigation<br />

at Harare Research Station in August 2008. Not all lines were adapted, and those that excelled were<br />

planted again in two sets, one under water stress and the other under irrigation in February 2009 at<br />

Gwebi Variety Testing Centre. However, the crop in the irrigated field was partly grazed by antelopes<br />

during the trifoliate stage. Drought in the water stress treatment was not severe as expected since some<br />

unexpected rains were received during the early podding stage, but 200 lines were selected under these<br />

drought conditions.<br />
