Farmers’ Awareness of Bean Ascochyta Blight and Evaluation of Constraints of Bean Production in Rwanda.
Abstract: The awareness and perceptions 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 was 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 study …
