ABSTRACT

Lablab (Lablab purpureus) germplasm was evaluated to identify high grain yielding and palatable accessions that were suitable for human consumption in Uganda. A preference analysis was done to identify accessions that had a high probability of being accepted by farmers. Accessions 29399, 29400, 29803, 30701, 31364, CQ3620, Q5427, Q6988, 52518B, Q6880B, 31364, CQ3621 and Lablab Uganda had high yields, which partly resulted from their high tolerance of the prevailing stresses (diseases, pests and low soil moisture). Accessions 29400, Lablab Uganda, Njahi. 29399, 36019, Q5427, Q6988, 30701 and 31364 scored highly based on the sensory attributes. Accessions Lablab Uganda, Njahi, 29400 and Q69887 were the most accepted for adoption by farmers based on their high agronomic performance. Lablab Uganda, Njahi, 29400 and Q69887 had the most preferred palatability characteristics for human consumption.
