Halo Blight Disease in Bean Landraces and Genotypes From a Farmers' Mixture

摘要

Halo blight disease of beans caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola is among the important factors limiting the production of beans in Tanzania. Availability of acceptable bean cultivars with resistance to halo blight pathogen is one of the approaches to management of the disease. This study examines the potential of landraces and components from bean mixtures to management of halo blight.
