Intensification of agriculture, combined with poor agronomic practices have increased the incidence of plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) and other soil pathogens in East Africa, which consequently affects crop productivity in small holder farms. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiv...
In common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L), limited information is available if potential of nodulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation is associated with the expression of traits that confer better adaptation to drought conditions. Adaptive traits were therefore measured in N‐fixing bean lines BAT 47...

Micronutrient malnutrition affects 2 billion people worldwide and biofortification could prove to be a cost-effective solution to its alleviation. The aims of this study are as follows: (i) to understand consumer acceptance of the main sensory characteristics such as taste, color, texture, etc., ...

Consumer acceptance of an iron bean variety in Northwest Guatemala: the role of information and repeated messaging
Background
This study investigated consumer demand heterogeneity and valuation of a processed bean product—“precooked beans” with substantially reduced cooking time. Common bean is the most important source of protein for low- and middle-income households in Uganda. Its consumption is, however, ...

A study was conducted on a ferralsol in southern DR Congo to assess the effects of spreading Tithonia diversifolia (Td) and Tephrosia vogelii (Tv) leaves on yields of four local varieties of common bean (Kasungeji, D6 Kenya, local white bean and Kigoma). The experimental design was a randomized c...

Climbing beans offer potential for sustainable intensification in the East-African highlands, but their introduction requires a major change in the cropping system compared with the commonly grown bush bean. We explored farm-level opportunities, constraints and trade-offs for climbing bean cultiv...
