Drought Tolerant Varieties of Common Beans (<i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i>) in Central Afghanistan

Legume crops have played a significant role in the historical dietary regime of Afghan peoples. Recently, production of common beans has increased on Afghan farms relative to other leguminous crops. However, compared with other pulse crops, common beans are more prone to water stress. To select drou...
