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 …
