Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is highly constrained by water deficit especially occurring during the reproductive development which significantly reduces the grain yield. A late planted crop, is likely to experience water stress. The purpose of the study was to determine the association of...

Increasing yield through selection for yield per se in most Agricultural Crops has been difficult to achieve since yield is quantitatively inherited with low heritability. A field experiment was carried out in 2010/11 growing season at Sebele, Gaborone, Botswana on twelve tomato genotypes...

Common bacterial blight is a major seed-borne disease of common bean. Its resistance is complex because of the quantitative nature. The combination of molecular-marker technology (MAS) with traditional phenotypic selection greatly facilitates the selection of resistant lines. The molecular...

Sorghum (S. bicolor, L) is a major crop of the hotter and drier regions of the tropics and subtropics grown by resource poor farmers for their subsistence. It can also be cultivated in marginal lands and areas of high rainfall characterized by low pH soils high in aluminium (Al).The overall...
