Description
Summary:This paper reviews the research progress made in pathology within the bean research network in Africa over the period 1985-92. Attention is drawn selectively to the most pertinent advances in preference to a fully comprehensive description of all work conducted in the region. A discussion of disease priorities on the basis of crop loss estimates is followed by a review of research highlights from the major diseases. The paper finishes with a critical review of progress towards integrated management and an appraisal of the principal gaps in knowledge now needing to be addressed
