Yield of common bean cultivars under semi‐arid conditions in eastern Ethiopia

Abstract

In a 14-year period common bean cultivar Mexican-142 gave higher yields (2313 kg/ha) than Awash-1 (2042 kg/ha) and Brown speckled (2263 kg/ha). Seed yield was positively correlated with rainfall over the whole season and with rainfall in September, time of flowering and podding. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
