Evaluation of Selected French Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Genotypes for Resistance to Angular Leaf Spot (Pseudocercospora griseola) in Western Kenya

S. K. Kimno, O. K. Kiplagat, E. E. Arunga & E. Chepkoech · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2016

French bean, a sub-group of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), is grown for its tender green pods. It is a major export crop in Kenya but production levels are constrained by both biotic and abiotic stresses. Angular leaf spot (ALS) disease, caused by Pseudocercospora grise...
