Data from PGRO Descriptive List 2024. The control for yield is the mean of 4 and 5 year varieties (4.27 t/ha). Yield differences of less than 7.5% are not significantly different. (1-9) A high rating indicates that the variety shows the character to a high degree. The scales of characters of spring beans do not necessarily correspond with those for winter beans. The export market usually requires pale hilum types. LVC = Low Vicine & Low Convicine (LVC). *Rust data influenced mostly by 4 trials in 2020. The lsd is approx 1 rating point. © PGRO 2023 27.11.23
