A Study of Agronomy and Morphologic Traits of White Bean Genotypes Using Multivariate Analysis

In order to study agronomy and morphologic traits of common bean, a number ofwhite bean genotypes (30 lines) were studied in a randomized complete block design.Analysis of variance for most traits showed significant differences among genotype,indicating the existence of genetic variation among varieties. The highest yield wasrelated to the number 29 genotype and the lowest value was for genotypes number 4 and 15. Results of this experiment showed that weight of pod was highly correlated with the seed yield. Path coefficient analysis showed that the highest direct positive effect wasrelated to weight of pod. Factor analysis was performed for genotypes and threecommon factors were extracted, which described 82 percentage of traits variations.
