Efficacy and Cost-Benefit Analysis of Indigenous Technical Knowledge versus Recommended Integrated Pest and Disease Management Technologies on Common Beans in South Western Uganda

Abstract: The common bean is the second most important food and third economically important crop after banana and coffee in the South Western Agro-Ecological Zone of Uganda. Farmers' returns to investment in bean production are consistently negative mainly due to losses resulting from collective effects of insect pests and diseases that cause damages at the various plant growth stages. This research study was carried out to 1) identify the major insect pests and diseases affecting the common beans in the zone; 2) test … Show more

“…Beans are rich in proteins and therefore part of human diets both in urban and rural areas (Aseete et al, 2018). Nabe 4 bean variety was selected because it matures early after 80-85 days and has high resistance against anthracnose and the bean common mosaic virus, which are the most prevalent diseases in the Rwenzori region (Kankwatsa, 2018). Nabe 4 was sown in SR2019 at a rate of 20 kg/ha.…”

“…Therefore, farmers recognize the influence of OM in water Coffee growers recognize the benefits of perennial woody agroecosystems in association with coffee, standing out the incorporation of leaf litter, microclimate for coffee plants, land improvements to the fertility of soil due to nutrient cycling, porosity due to the presence of roots and earthworms, that facilitate aeration and nutrient input, and reducing the development of weeds [41]. This can be maintained through good agricultural practices, the use of organic fertilizers, land cover, minimum tillage, planting of polycultures, among others [42].…”
