Reaction of selected common bean genotypes to physiological races
(2011)
The wide pathogenic variability occurring in Phaeoisariopsis griseola, the causal agent of angular leaf spot of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), dictates that new sources of resistance be continuously identified. This ...
Inheritance of resistance to angular leaf spot in yellow beans
(2011)
Angular leaf spot (Phaeoisariopsis griseola (Sacc) is an important disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in most parts of Africa, causing yield losses of 40-80%. This study was carried out to determine the inheritance ...
Resistance and inheritance of common bacterial blight in yellow bean
(2011)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume among the pulses. It is a cheap source of protein, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, bean production is constrained by bacterial diseases, of ...
Evaluation of companion crops for thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) management on French bean Phaseolus vulgaris (Fabaceae)
(2006-06)
Six companion crops, i.e. Tagetes erecta, Daucus carota L., Coriandrum sativum L., Brassica oleraceae L. var. acephala, Capsicum annuum L. and Zea mays L., were evaluated for their efficacy in suppressing field populations ...
The potential of Bacillus subtilis and Rhizobium leguminosarum in controlling plant-parasitic nematodes in farmers’ fields
(2011)
Assessment of the potential of dual inoculation of Bacillus subtilis and Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli strain USDA 2674 on plant parasitic nematodes in bean was carried out on farmers’ fields. Bean seeds variety ...
Genetic variation for tolerance to low soil nitrogen (N) in common beans (Phaseolus vulgaries L.)
(2003)
Low soil nitrogen is an important biophysical constraint to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in East and Central Africa. An average of 660 kg N ha-1 has been lost during the last 30 years from about 200 million ...
Effects of N fertilisation, bean spatial arrangements and residue on maize performance in a semi'arid area of Kenya
(African Crop Science Society, 1997)
Abstract In Kenya, two sites Kimutwa and Masii with dystric Nitisol and acrisol, respectively, were used to study
the influence of four N rates (0, 25, 50 and 100 kg N ha't), two spatial arrangements (same and alternate ...
