Overview

Objectives
Evaluate promising bean lines with ALS and BCMNV resistance in on-farm field trials and multiply seed. 1. Evaluate bean lines in preliminary and advanced yield trials for populations obtained from the hybridization program and the introduced germplasm. 2. Evaluate lines from inter-specific hybridization for bruchid resistance. 3. Obtain germplasm and make crosses and advance materials from crosses of elite materials to incorporate disease resistance into adapted varieties.
