General combining ability in 80 small-seeded cultivars of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for seed yield and its components

Reports & Research
december, 1986
Central America
South America

Increase in yield potential of dry common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars has been either imperceptible or small and gradual, in spite of large variation of most traits, including seed yield. Therefore general combining ability (GCA) of 80 cultivars and lines was investigated. Eight sets of 10 entries each were used, with five parents each as females and males in a Design II mating system. The resulting 200 F2 populations, excluding parents, were evaluated in a replicates-in-sets design for yield and its components at two locations in Colombia.
