Relative importance of common bean attributes and variety demand in the drought areas of Kenya
The findings presented in this study reveal that varietal adaptation to environmental stresses should also strive to reduce cooking time, as well as enhance keeping quality and grain color to improve benefits for the poor. The study argues that prioritizing the improvement of production attributes as a short-term goal seems an efficient strategy when multi-attribute based breeding is a long process.
