The Kazakh University Common Bean Collection: The Introductory Trial of Snaps

Abstract

The aim of the present investigation was to determine the introduction power of the three snap common bean cultivars from the UK in the mountainous zone of Almaty Region in 2023. The harvest-time, plant and leaf growth dynamics, the state of leaf trichomes together with the productivity of snaps at the technical maturity were identified. Cultivars “Amethyst” and “Seline” were shown to be the appropriate snap breeding donors for local bush bean lines due to their parameters of seed germination and plant leaf size together with their trichome parameters resembling those of domestic lines under the study.
