Description
Temesgen Bedassa Gudeta and Sandiswa Figlan survey, in 2026, Cercospora leaf spot disease across mungbean farms in Ethiopia. Mungbean is a major cash pulse in the lowlands, valued for protein and soil improvement. The fungal leaf spot, however, severely limits production, and its national distribution was poorly mapped.
Inspectors visited 496 farms in 33 districts across five regions during the 2024 and 2025 seasons. The disease appeared in every district, with field prevalence rising from about eighty-five percent to over ninety-one percent between years. The worst incidence and severity clustered in certain districts and linked to high elevation, heavy weeds, minimal tillage and late weeding. The authors urge targeted, research-based management in the hardest-hit districts.
