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.
