The call for a bean transformative agenda is led by the Pan-African Bean Alliance (PABRA). It aims to position common bean as a commercial crop, though it is still grown for home consumption. They have designed and put in place gender sensitive interventions aimed at increasing women and youths a...

Many Countries could experience unprecedented heat stress because of global climate change (Battisti and Naylor,2009). Heat sensitivity in common bean is a major limiting factor that can reduce yield, quality, and lead to restricted geographic adaptation (Beebeetal.,2011). Interspecific lines dev...

The efficiency of crop production has important implications for farm yield and productivity; however, little is known about the efficiency of bean production in Uganda. This study evaluated factors influencing technical efficiency among smallholder farmers in eastern Uganda where bean growing is...

Water stress is one of the major abiotic stress limitations for grain legume production in smallholder agricultural systems. Phenotypic characterization of water consumption by different species of legumes and genotypes within them plays a key role in adaptation to drought. Dynamics of water use ...

The common bean is sensitive to many biotic and abiotic constraints. To enhance farm productivity, farmers need to have access to and use bean production practices that combine seed of improved varieties as well as integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) and integrated pest and disease manage...

This initiative was aimed at demonstrating that the public‐private partnerships in the bean seed value chain can make a difference to avail bean seed of improved varieties to farmers. The common beans is an import food crop covering an estimated area of 260,000 ha in Malawi in 2010. However the r...

Among Plant Genetic Resources for Agriculture, landraces are excellent genetic materials for developing new varieties. Due to their genetic diversity, these populations have maintained potentially useful alleles for increasing valuable traits in crops. A diet mostly relying on pulses as source of...
