Abstract

Fifteen varieties of long bean were evaluated for their performance on mineral soil. The best yielding varieties were Sabah Biji Hitam.Sabah Biji Hitam M.U.3,Yates Red.Kapok and Fiji. Of these, Fiji had the best keepingquality. In general, these varieties were early flowering and produced longer and more pods.Correlation studies on eight characters also showed high association between yield and pod number,seed number per pod,pod lenght and 100 seed weight. Seed weight was positively correlated with keeping quality of pods.The path coefficient analysis determined that pod number and pod lenght had the greatest direct effects on yeild and so should prove to be effective selection criteria.
