Abstract
Phaseolus lunatus is an American crop and in some countries the seeds are national ant international commercialized, with considerable annual exportations. It is a neglected crop in Cuba and it has been poor utilized in genetic breeding programmes, however the seeds contribute, additionally, to the human diet in many rural communities, because its high proteins and soluble fibbers content. From the ex situ characterization was possible to select five varieties (Blanco, Negro, Bola Roja, Enano Pinto y Bayito), with different characteristics according to the colour, from and size of the seeds, which determine its elaboration for consumption. The potential yields are high; because of they can be considered as promised for the introduction to little scale in the productive practice. Those varieties came from the farmer fields linking to the Cuban Component of the Project “Assessment and adaptive management of seed systems and geneflow for sustainable agriculture in the humid tropics of Mexico, Cuba and Peru”. It had the technical and financial support of Bioversity International (former IPGRI) and IDRC. Between them stand out the cultivated variety: Enano Pinto, with determinate grow habit, a life cilcle of 96 to 104 days and yield of 25,5 g/plant alter two harvests, it has been in the Register of Commercial Varieties of Cuba for a farmer from La Munición Community, localized in Yateras, Guantánamo province, and it is sponsoring for INIFAT and USAG. This fact constitutes an advance step in the way of the diversity protection present in the local communities where they were originated.
