Abstract
‘BRS Valente’, developed by Embrapa Rice & Beans, has been indicated since 2001 for cropping in the states of Goias/Distrito Federal, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul. In 2002, the indication was extended to the states of Sao Paulo, Parana and Santa Catarina. The grain is commercially classified as solid colored seed coat (black turtle soup) and presents superior agronomic traits such as yield potential, wide adaptation, good grain quality, erect plant type and resistance to lodging.
Highlights
The demand for higher yielding cultivars with better grain quality and resistant to the main diseases has directed the common bean breeding program at Embrapa Rice & Beans to develop, assess and indicate improved and adapted varieties for different edaphic and climatic conditions encountered in the bean production regions
In 2002, the indication was extended to the states of São Paulo, Paraná and Santa Catarina
The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replications and the plots were composed of two 4m rows spaced by 0.50 m and a sowing density of 15 seeds per meter. This trial was conducted by the Common Bean Technical Commission in a total of 13 environments in the states of Goiás (1), Mato Grosso (1), Mato Grosso do Sul (1), Minas Gerais (1), Espírito Santo (2), Santa Catarina (1), Paraná (5) and Rio Grande do Sul (1)

The experimental design was a randomized complete block with four replications and the plots were composed of two 4m rows spaced by 0.50 m and a sowing density of 15 seeds per meter This trial was conducted by the Common Bean Technical Commission in a total of 13 environments in the states of Goiás (1), Mato Grosso (1), Mato Grosso do Sul (1), Minas Gerais (1), Espírito Santo (2), Santa Catarina (1), Paraná (5) and Rio Grande do Sul (1). In VCU 1997-98, line LM 93204217 was assessed with ten additional lines and three controls in a complete randomized block design with four replications and plots of four 4 m rows, using the technologies recommended for the different crop systems in a total of 49 environments in the states of Goiás (9) Distrito Federal (1), Minas Gerais (6), Mato Grosso do Sul (9), Mato Grosso (7), Rio de Janeiro (7), Espírito Santo (5), and Rio Grande do Sul (5). Based on these data the indication of the ‘BRS Valente’ cultivar was extended in 2001 to São Paulo, Paraná and Santa Catarina (Table 1)
