Interpretive Summary: In response to a request at the most recent meeting of the Bean Improvement Cooperative, technical information and descriptions of recent releases of bean cultivars and germplasm in Central America and the Caribbean have been posted on the http://arsftfbean.uprm.edu/bean/ web site, and included here in a table. The table reflects the productivity of bean breeding programs in the Central America and the Caribbean in recent years and represents a valuable group of bean genotypes having unique combinations of traits of economic importance. More information concerning bean releases will be added to the web site as it becomes available.
