all four test sites, although only data from Jimma are shown, given that disease pressure was especially<br />

intense there. Several lines were superior to Awash-Melka in resistance, especially line 23 which was<br />

superior for reaction to four diseases. In evaluations with traders all lines were quite acceptable, while<br />

line 80 was rated very high in canning quality in tests carried out in Italy.<br />

Evaluation <strong>of</strong> the fast track nursery in southern Africa was delayed due to attack <strong>of</strong> bean stem maggot or<br />

bean fly (Ophiomyia spp.), which was exacerbated by late planting <strong>of</strong> nurseries to increase probability<br />

<strong>of</strong> drought stress. Lines are still being processed, but in the <strong>of</strong>f-season nursery in Kasinthula 51 lines<br />

produced 30% more grain that the average <strong>of</strong> four checks, although almost none beat the best check by<br />

this margin. We have noted that lines selected in the Malawian program have performed well in other<br />

environments, <strong>and</strong> local materials might have a degree <strong>of</strong> tolerance already.<br />
