(Taylor and Francis, 2022-12)
ABSTRACT
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important food
legume crop and major protein source in Kenya and many
parts of the world. However, the yields are low due to the
diseases like anthracnose caused by ...

(Academic Journals, 2015-08)
French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Kenya is cultivated predominantly in the Central, Eastern and Rift Valley provinces. Despite its importance as an export commodity, there has been little breeding effort devoted to ...
Characterization of Kenyan French Bean genotypes into gene pool affiliations using allele specific markers
(ACADEMIC JOURNALS, 2020-07)
French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a major export crop in Kenya where it serves as a cash crop for
smallholder farmers and a source of employment. However, there is limited information on
characterization of available ...
