  Author(s): Negash Hailu* and Hailu Tontosha
  
  Common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli is a major disease of common bean affecting its production in southern Ethiopia. This study was conducted to determine the effect of variety, seed treatment and foliar spraying frequencies of bactericide on disease severity, yield and yield components of common bean. Field research was conducted at Hawassa agricultural research center during 2017/18 main cropping season using Hawassa dumme and Mexican-142 varieties. Streptomycin seed treatment was integrated with Kocide-101 foliar spraying frequency at the rate of 2.31 kg ha-1 at two, three and four week’s intervals. The design was randomized complete block design arranged in factorial with three replications. Due to the effect of variety, severity was reduced by 17.2% and the mean seed yield .. View more»
