abstract: Ms. Shida Nestory (Fig. 3.1), an experienced agricultural research officer and common
been breeder at Selian, presented the projects’ achievements for common bean
breeding program in different areas. For accessibility of the new germplasm, new
materials can be accessed sufficiently through the International Center for Tropical
Agriculture (CIAT), the local collections (landraces), and other national stations
(Uyole, Maruku). “Thanks to TL projects we are now able to advance six generations
of bean varieties each year. The new breeds that we are developing have traits
like better resistance to diseases, a higher nutritional value (iron), early maturity,
and ability to survive drought periods. We have 8 old varieties of beans that are aged
more than 10 years since the time they were registered; we also have 7 new registered
varieties which gained registration in 2018, also underway is an additional 8 lines
that are under multi-location trials. Through TL III, we have been able to release a
total of 15 varieties up to date. Of the 15 varieties, five are climbing bean types. The
15 varieties have reached farmers across the Tanzanian farming regions. Currently, we can produce about 7 tons of breeder seeds on an annual basis. TL Project can be
said to have played a dominant role in our breeding process, 60% of the resources
that we own and use have come from the TL Program. The new varieties are very
superior in that they have higher yields; they mature much faster and have a higher
nutritional value in comparison with the old ones,” Shida ended.
