Participatory Evaluation of Bean Ascochyta Blight [Phoma exigua var. diversispora (Bubak) Boerema] and Constraints of Bean Production in Rwanda
Abstract: AbstractThe awareness and perception of ascochyta blight by farmers is an important factor that affects the type of bean genotype adopted. Although farmers in Rwanda prefer large-seeded bean genotypes, both for consumption and for market, these genotypes are susceptible to ascochyta blight. It has been observed that farmers are abandoning large-seeded bean genotypes, in preference for smaller seeded genotypes, which seem to be more resistant. Therefore, the objective of this …

Pre-extension Demonstration of Improved Teff Technologies at Shashogo District, Hadiya Zone, Southern Ethiopia
Abstract: Teff is a highly important crop in Ethiopia in terms of both production and consumption. Population growth, low incomes, and urbanization have all contributed to an increase in demand for teff, which is predicted to continue. However, the teff production system largely depends on traditional methods. As a result, the crop yield has not reached at the desired level. Therefore, the pre-extension demonstration of improved teff technologies was conducted at …
