Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Mean and median bean yields did not differ significantly across the decade.
- Observation Average yields differed by ±1.5 t ha -1 among countries.
- Observation Eritrea had the lowest reported yield variability.
- Observation Tanzania had moderate yield variability.
- Association Rainfall and temperature were primary drivers of interannual fluctuations.
- Observation PC 1 explained 96% of yield variability.
- Observation PC 2 accounted for 2% of yield variability.
- Recommendation The authors suggest strengthening climate resilience, inputs and infrastructure to enhance bean yield.
