The research work was developed in the Credit and Services Cooperative "26 de Julio" of the Consolación del Sur municipality, Pinar del Río. The agronomic response of five common bean cultivars (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was determined for the agroclimatic conditions of the study area, from November 2015 to January 2016. The cultivars evaluated were 'CUFIG 48', 'CUL 156', 'Tomeguín 93', 'Delicias 364' and 'Buenaventura'. Sowing was carried out at 0.60 x 0.07 m and cultural care was carried out according to the indications established in the technical guide for bean cultivation. There were significant differences in the agronomic response of the cultivars against the agroclimatic conditions of the study area, although the agricultural yield of 'Buenaventura' and 'Delicias 364' exceeded the 'Tomeguín 93' by more than 35 %. In addition, it is shown that the dry mass of 100 seeds and the number of legumes per plant were the variables with the greatest influence on the agricultural yield of the crop.
