Testing value for cultivation and use of pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. ‘Negin’ ) cultivar applying for commercialization

High-potential cultivars play an important role in increasing yield and productivity, as a result, in the development of the country's agricultural economy. Therefore it is necessary to provide cultivars to farmers and crop producers that have quantity and quality assurance of the product for their use. Testing value for cultivation and use examines the performance of the candidate varieties, which is compared with the performance of the varieties in the national list of cultivars (Animal & plant agency, ۲۰۲۳). In ۲۰۲۰, the global area under bean cultivation is reported to be about ۳۵ million hectares (FAO, ۲۰۲۰). The area under bean cultivation in Iran in the crop year ۲۰۱۷-۲۰۱۸ was about ۱۰۸ thousand hectares and the amount of production of this crop was more than ۲۴۹ thousand tons with an average yield of ۲۳۸۹ kg per hectare (Darvishi et al., ۲۰۲۳). The aim of the current research is to evaluate the value for cultivation and use of a pinto bean variety applying for commercialization in the most important bean growing climates in Iran, therefore the yield and other important agronomic characteristics of this cultivar should be compared with the cultivars in the national list of plant cultivars based on the characteristics mentioned in the bean value for cultivation and use test instructions.
