Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important pulse crops grown in Ethiopia in terms of both area and quantity produced. The crop is cultivated in different parts, mainly Oromia, Amhara and Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR). Their share of the national common bean production is 51% for Oromia, 24 % for Amhara and 21% for SNNPR (CSA, 2018). Almost all common beans are produced under rainfed conditions by smallholder farmers on less than 0.5 hectares (Ephrem, 2016). The crop is one of the most important cash crops and sources of protein for farmers in many lowlands and mid-altitude zones. It is also widely intercropped with maize and sorghum to supplement farmers with additional income and to maintain soil fertility (IBC, 2012). Common bean farmers preferred the crop because of its fast maturing characteristics that enable households to get cash income required to purchase food and other household needs when other crops have not yet matured (Berhanu et al., 2018).
