      abstract = {Almost every year in Jamaica the presence of several  diseases cause severe loss of yield to the bean crops  planted throughout the island. The accompanying financial  loss is usually great. This paper presents tne more  important diseases of beans encountered' and methods that  can be used to control them are given. Some of these  diseases are aB follows: Powdery mildew Bacterial blight  Anthracnose Leaf spots Rust Fusarium root rot Mosaic Root  knot Oidium sp. Xanthomonas phaseoli Colletotr1chum  lindemuthianum Cercospora spp. & Isariopsis sp. Uromyces  ··appendicula1jus Fusarium spp. Virus Meloidogyne spp.  Almost every year in Jamaica the presence of several  diseases causes severe loss of yield to the bean crops  planted throughout the island. The accompanying financial  loss is usually great and the annual importation of dried  beans (known locally as red peas) is tremendous. There is  also substantial loss of string beans and it is not unusual  for a farmer 'to be unable even to meet his planting  expenses at the end of Ii bean crop. A number of diseases  are carried in the bean seeds and certified disease-free  seeds are not usually available. Farmers, therefore, save  seeds from crop to crop or purchase plan'ting material from  local agents. Disease agents are tLerefore carried from one  crop to the next thus contributing to the low yields  usually obtained. ,During 1963 work was started by the  Plant Protection and the Agronomy DiVisions of the Ministry  of Agriculture .and Lands to improve the production of  beans in Jamaica by introducing new varieties and selecting  seeds for propagation 􀀀~􀀀r􀀀o􀀀m apparently disease free  plants. As a result of this work the Charlevoix variety  which has a large very red seed was obtained and fairly  large quantities are being grown by farmers. This varie'ty,  though a heavy bearer, is also susceptible to many diseases  and also carries some of the disease causing agents in the  seeds.},
