Abstract
Lima bean is a legume belonging to Fabaceae family cultivated for edible seeds known to generic name of “haricot”. In C ô te d’Ivoire, it’s cultivated on small scale in rural zone by local farmers. The main objective of this study was to document and collect local varieties of Lima beans ( Phaseolus lunatus ) grown in C ô te d’Ivoire in order to define efficient strategies for better conservation, preservation and improvement of its genetic resources. Investigations were carried out in seventeen localities of C ô te d’Ivoire from November 2018 to September 2020. A total of 433 accessions were collected. Based on seed coat color, nineteen morphological types were identified. The length of seeds is ranged from 10 mm to 23 mm. The width of seeds varies from 7 mm and 15 mm. The 100-Seeds-weight are ranged from 31 g to 120 g. Comparison using analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a significant difference between the nineteen morphological types of common bean. Two morphological types were observed: large seed cultivars and small seed cultivars. Data showed that the species studied have a good market potential. Thus, their promotion can contribute to the economic well-being of farmers due to their cultural and culinary importance.
