Summary

This document containing a research project mostly undertaken in final year of a Bachelor degree in Agriculture.
The research focuses on BOTANICAL AND BIOLOGICAL METHODS FOR MANAGEMENT OF THRIPS (Frankliniella occidentalis) IN FRENCH BEANS (Phaseolus vulgar)

1.0 INTRODUCTION
French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) originated from South and North American Continents. Globally the crop is widely cultivated in most tropics, Subtropics and temperate regions for the immature green pods which are consumed preferably in fibreless state. In Kenya, French beans were introduced from Europe. It is the most important export vegetable crop cultivated mainly by smallholder farmers in Kenya. In 2011 Kenya produced 42,573 tonnes of French bean earning the country Kshs.5.8 Billion (HCDA, 2011).French beans have high nutritional contents and contain ascorbic acid, other vitamins, mineral salts and proteins. The export market for French beans is likely to increase due to high demand from the local processing industry and in the export destinations.
