ProceedingsSummary: En Brasil, la investigacion en habichuela financiada por instituciones del sector publico busca elevar el rendimiento, controlar las enfermedades, plagas y malezas, y mejorar el manejo de los cultivos y los aspectos de calidad. Tambien se esta trabajando para obtener nuevas var. de tipo arbustivo con buena arquitectura de planta, que faciliten la cosecha mecanica. En los ultimos anos, se liberaron para uso de los productores 3 nuevas var. arbustivas--Alessa, Andra y Cota. Mediante cruzamientos interespecificos con Phaseolus coccineus, se esta trabajando para lograr resistencia a pudricion radical y mejor tolerancia a estres. Las instituciones privadas se concentran en el mejoramiento. Sus principales objetivos para la habichuela voluble y arbustiva son rendimiento alto, resistencia a enfermedades y plagas, rendimiento de vainas alto, bajo contenido de fibra, color de la semilla y conservacion poscosecha. (RA-CIAT)Summary: In Brazil, publically funded snap bean research is seeking to raise yields, control diseases, weeds and pests, improve crop management and improve quality aspects. Efforts to obtain new bush type varieties with good plant architecture that facilitate mechanical harvesting are also in progress. In the last few years, three new bush varieties, Alessa, Andra and Cota, were released to producers. Work is also underway to achieve root rot resistance and better tolerance to stress through interspecific crosses with Phaseolus coccineus. Private institutions concentrate on breeding. Their major objectives for both climbing and bush type snap beans are high yield, disease and pest resistance, high pod yield, low fiber content, seed color and post-harvest keepability. (AS)
