Preliminary Diversity Assessment of Lima Beans (Phaseolus lunatus) Cultivated in Côte D’Ivoire

Lima bean is a legume belonging to Fabaceae family 
cultivated for edible seeds known to generic name of “haricot”. In Cote 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 Cote 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 Cote 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.
