CULTIVAR RELEASE-IAC-Galante and IAC-Centauro: special common bean types

Abstract

Common bean types with pinkish and light brown teguments were predominant in Brazil before 1970, until therelease of the Carioca common bean. To avoid that these common bean types sink into oblivion, the Instituto AgronômicoCampinas applied for the registration of two cultivars by the MAPA/RNC: IAC-Galante (pinkish) and IAC-Centauro (lightbrown), with high yield and resistance to anthracnose and common mosaic.
