One of the most important diseases affecting common bean during the fall-winter season in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, is white mold (WM). The most commonly used control measure is the application of fungicides. However, the high cost and the potentially deleterious environmental and human effects have motivated the search for new alternatives of WM management. Genetic resistance is a key component of WM management, because it is easier for farmers to adopt and environmentally safe. Common beanlines developed by Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA), Universidade Federal de Vifosa (UFV), and Embrapa Arroz e Feijao are tested every year at several locations in the State of Minas Gerais through the “cultivation and use value” (CUV) experiments. We selected lines from these trials under WM pressure. In four experiments, we compared the performance of the lines with the current cultivars used by farmers, also under WM pressure. Our objective was to select lines with resistance to WM associated with high yield potential.
