Performance of Mesoamerican bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines in an unfertilized oxisol

Introduction. Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Central America and the Caribbean are often produced on low fertility soils which reduces crop yield. Bean breeding programs need to identify genotypes that have superior adaptation to these conditions. Objective. Identify Mesoamerican bean germ...
