Bean Farming In Uganda - NARO
Farmers have planted different bean seed varieties provided by NARO ---- Naro Bean 1, Naro Bean 2, Naro Bean 3, Naro Bean 6, Naro Bean 7 and NABE 19. The farmers observe the different varieties in the field trial gardens, in their villages, where they participate in their growth under our extension staff's supervision. They can taste them to find out which are best for eating; they notice those that are the highest yielding and the more marketable ones. The farmers also observe the more resilient varieties to climate vagaries such as too much rain or drought. Such observations inform their decision about which seed varieties to plant in their own gardens. #NARO #BeanFarmingInUganda
