Effects of Phosphate Solubilizing Fungi on Growth and Yield of Haricot Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Plants

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2016
<p>Haricot bean (<em>Phaseolus vulgaris</em> L.) is one of the most important cash crops and export commodities besides its use in human food and soil fertility improvement. Phosphorus (P) is one of the major bio-elements that limits agricultural production.

Genome‐wide association study of variation in cooking time among common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) accessions using Diversity Arrays Technology markers

Legume Science, 2023
Stored grains of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) develop the hard‐to‐cook trait (HTC), which is manifested in a prolonged cooking time, thereby imposing time and energy constraints.

How Do Management Choices Impact the Performance of Cassava‐Legume Intercropping in Africa? A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intercropping can enable sustainable intensification. In Africa, smallholder farmers rely on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a staple food. Nevertheless, the performance of cassava intercropping emerges from management choices such as legume species selection, planting density, sowing time, and nitrogen (N) fertilisation as well as soil ...

Modeling Soil Erosion Risk Areas Using the RUSLE Model Coupled With GIS and RS in Haro Bake Watershed, Yabello District, Southern Ethiopia

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil erosion is most severe in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, especially in developing countries like Ethiopia. Estimating the extent of soil loss and understanding the spatial distribution of erosion‐prone areas are critical for planning and effectively implementing soil conservation measures with limited resources.

Evaluation of Climate‐Smart Coffee Production Practices in Ethiopia: Based on Modified Participatory Climate‐Smart Prioritization Framework

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Climate change poses significant risks to Ethiopia’s coffee production, threatening both farmer livelihoods and the national coffee sector. Climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) offers strategies to enhance resilience in coffee farming systems. This study evaluated and prioritized CSA practices based on performance, implementation feasibility, and economic ...

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Revival of traditional agricultural systems – A multidisciplinary on‐farm survey of maize‐bean intercropping reveals unexpected competition effects on beans

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 1755-1770, November 2025.
Cereal‐legume intercropping is a promising strategy for sustainable agroecosystems, leveraging the biological complementarities between plant species to reduce the need for inputs while enhancing field biodiversity. Here, we focused on maize‐bean intercropping, which is experiencing a revival in conventional agricultural settings.
