Abstract
The paper presents the results of a study of a collection of 30 bean resources grown in open field conditions. The bean resources were characterized in terms of germination rate, flowering, pod development, pathogen resistance, yield components, soluble solids, dry matter, mineral and water content. The first step of investigation allows us to select the valuable genetic material in terms of earliness, productivity, quality, tolerance/ resistance to pest and pathogens.
