A photothermal model is used to study the suitability of annual legume cover crops in hillside farming in southwestern Uganda. Elevations ranged from 1600 to 2500 m. Not surprisingly, temperate species are found to more suitable than tropical
species, which probably would not reach pod maturity in either of the two growing seasons in this area of bi-modal rainfall distribution. A. believe that the model can be used for scaling-up agronomic research trials in specific locations. - (SLD)

Models for the time between sowing and reproductive maturity are used to examine the suitability of six legume cover crops for farming systems in the mid-hills region of Nepal. There was substantial variability in maturity dates resulting from
Soil fertility in the mid-elevation hillsides of the Cochabamba region of Bolivia has been declining as natural fallow times have been reduced in order to bring more land into crop production. A photothermal model is used to simulate climate
