The lack of systematic (scientific) knowledge about the biology and ecology of the species in the specific conditions in our country has been an element that contributed to the lower "progress" of this species. The climbing large bean (Ph. coccineus), although well-known in culture, little information is known about its biology and genetics. There is a high degree of rusticity and ecological plasticity, which is higher than at common beans due to resistance or tolerance to pathogens. Highly important is the fact that this rusticity provides a high degree of suitability for sustainable farming systems, including organic. The aim of our work was (1) to acquire knowledge, experience and data that will enable better and more efficient use of PGR. (2) to provide useful contributions to further Phaseolus coccineus research and production (3) to ensure the valuable use of Phaseouls resources for diffrent purposes. The obtained data provides a strong base for establishing a working plan for breeding activities.
