Pan-Africa Bean Research Alliance[Narrative Report: Tapping resilience for a stronger future 2015-2018.]Narrative Report: Tapping resilience for a stronger future 2015-2018.

Varietal adoption based on household surveys has mostly relied on farmers’ response to varietal identification. This method can give biased estimates if farmers are unable to identify improved varieties as a group or by name, or give names that do not match with the released variety list. To tack...

Increased legume productivity contributes to nutritional security as they are a source of cheap proteins. However, there is limited access to information on improved legume technologies among smallholder farmers in resource poor countries such as Tanzania. This chapter is aimed at assessing the e...

This paper evaluates production and commercialization constraints that prevent smallholder farmers from effectively utilizing beans with regard to household food and income security. The study was conducted in six provinces of Burundi in 2010 using a multi-stage stratified sampling procedure to s...

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...

The Pan Africa Bean Research Alliance (PABRA) capacity building program contributes to the strengthening of the knowledge and skills of its partners. The capacity strengthening is geared towards improving service delivery; by equipping scientists and partners alike with the needed skills in techn...


Muthoni, RachelMuwanika, RolandTibalikwana, MabelBuruchara, Robin A.[Strengthening the knowledge base to respond to bean system priorities]Strengthening the knowledge base to respond to bean system priorities

Common bean productivity is reduced by several abiotic stress factors like drought and low soil fertility, leading to yield losses particularly in low input smallholder farming systems in the tropics. To understand the genetics of stress tolerance, and to improve adaptation of common bean to adv...

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is an important crop for more than 20 millions people in Eastern, Southern and Western D.R. Congo, where its consumption can supply 60 % of dietary protein for rural and urban people with an estimated consumption of 60 kg per year and per person. It is the most grown l...
