Recoleccion de germoplasma de Phaseolus vulgaris en el Centro- Sur del Peru, Mayo 14 - Junio 1, 1988

Seventy nine samples of two Phaseolus species were collected during a germplasm exploration in Cusco. Of particular interest are: 25 landraces of P. vulgaris (of which 7 are popped beans) and 8 populations of a particular wild common bean. Strong indications about the existence of a crop-weed complex for P. vulgaris in the higher Apurimac are discussed. (AS)
