Implications of early selection for resistance to anthracnose in genetic breeding of common bean

“…There are several factors that contribute to yield reduction of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), among which are the occurrence of virus, bacteria, fungi and certain types of pests (Miklas et al 2006, Singh and Schwartz 2010, Carvalho et al 2013, Pereira et al 2013a). It should be noted that the main biotic stress which affects grain yield of common bean in Brazil is the occurrence of diseases caused by fungi.…”
