MORPHO-AGRONOMIC CHARACTERIZATION OF LIMA BEAN GENOTYPESFROM SUBTROPICAL BRAZIL

摘要

The Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) is distributed worldwide, and characterized by greater tolerance to drought, excess moisture, as well as high temperatures (VIEIRA, 1992). In Brazil, it presents a limited region of cultivation, being mainly emphasized in the northeast region of Brazil, being directly connected to the feeding of the familiar farmers. The objective of this work was to evaluate the genotypes of Lima bean from the subtropical region of Brazil.
