Development and evaluation of nutritious fast-cooking bean flours
(2014-08-06)Background: Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L) are grown throughout Uganda. Their consumption is however limited by the long cooking time thus high energy requirement and by the presence of anti-nutrients. There was thus ... -
Development of intermittent drought stress tolerant common bean genotypes in Uganda
(African Crop Science Society, 2014)Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties that are high yielding and drought-tolerant are crucial in coping with the effects of drought, that is prevalent among small scale producers living in Uganda. The objective of ... -
Evaluation of resistance to bruchids within the common dry bean germplasm in Uganda.
(2014)Dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is economically and nutritionally an important legume in many parts of Africa and Latin America. Unfortunately, two bruchid species, Acanthoscelides obtectus Say, and Zabrotes subfasciatus ... -
Farmers’ willingness to participate in alternative delivery channels of improved bean seed
(Makerere University, 2018-04)The conventional seed delivery channels have mainly delivered improved seed of hybrid varieties and vegetables and little of the open-pollinated varieties such as common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The pan-African bean ... -
Influence of mineral zinc application on plant zinc biofortification, protein content, yield and nodule activity of bush bean genotypes.
(Makerere University, 2014)Legumes contribute considerably to human dietary mineral requirements and proteins in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Bush bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in particular, is a key staple crop in the region. The crop is recognised ... -
Inheritance of resistance to common bacterial blight (Xanthomonas axonopodis phaseoli) disease of common bean
(Makerere University, 2019)Common Bacterial Blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli and Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. fuscans (designated as Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli variant fuscans) is a major constraint to bean production ... -
Resistance spectrum to anthracnose disease and the genetic effect of pyramided genes on yield in common bean
(Makerere Uniersity, 2019)Bean anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. et. Magn) Lams. Scrib., is one of the most widespread and economically important fungal diseases of the common bean. The pathogen possesses a high genetic ... -
