  Common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli is the most important biotic production constraint to common bean in eastern Ethiopia. Climate change could have an impact on the disease epidemiology by influencing both common bean growth and the pathogen reproduction. The effects of climate change needs to be mitigated using climate change resilience strategies. Field experiments were conducted in the 2012 and 2013 cropping seasons at Haramaya and Babile research stations in eastern Ethiopia to assess the effects of integrating climate change resilience strategies on CBB of common bean. Gofta (G2816) and Mexican 142(11239) common bean varieties were used. Eight climate change resilience strategies used were compost application, row intercropping and furrow planting alone and in combination. Factorial combinations of two com.. View More»
