Overview
Farm trials in Iganga district were conducted to determine the effect of seed dressing and earthing-up on bean fly incidence and damage.
Objectives
Coming soon
Outcomes
The results indicated that seed dressing and earthing-up significantly reduce bean fly damage and bean root rot. There was an increase in bean grain yield of between 72% and 213% associated with seed dressing. Earthing-up at first weeding resulted in 32% to 36% increase in grain yield. Earthing-up and seed dressing, however, did not significantly influence incidences of bean aphid and bean striped weevils.
