Abstract
The MAPA/RNC registered the cultivar IAC Formoso with carioca grain of the Instituto Agronomico IAC, in view of the high mean yield in 24 environments (approximately 2816 kg ha-1), resistance to anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) and Fusarium solani, high grain quality and a cycle of 85 days from emergence to harvest.
Highlights
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is one of the most important constituents of the Brazilian diet for being an excellent protein source
The line Gen 96A28P4-1-1-1-1 was obtained in the winter harvest of 2000, from multiple crosses (Vax1 x Instituto Agronômico (IAC) - Carioca Aruã) x [(IAC - Carioca Akytã x IAPAR 14) x A686] initiated in 1996
From the winter season of 2006, this line was evaluated in preliminary tests, where it stood out with high grain yield, yield stability and disease resistance
Summary
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is one of the most important constituents of the Brazilian diet for being an excellent protein source. In the IAC common bean breeding program (Center for Analysis and Technological Research of Agribusiness of grains and fibers of the IAC) has provided high-yielding Carioca bean cultivars, resistant to the pathogen anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) and with excellent cooking quality (Carbonell et al 2008, Chiorato et al 2008). After plant selections by the pedigree method in the dry season of 2006, line F6 with carioca grain, named Gen C2-1-3, was selected. From the winter season of 2006, this line was evaluated in preliminary tests, where it stood out with high grain yield, yield stability and disease resistance. Due to its plant characteristics, grain color, broth quality evaluated at cooking, disease resistance, and yield and yield stability, line Gen 1-3 was named IAC Formoso and the production of genetic seeds initiated in the rainy season of 2009
