Several studies were made to grow runner beans extensively without trellis support, like common beans are grown. Three runner bean ecotypes were evaluated, with and without trellis support. Although the highest yield was obtained with trellis support, significant yields were obtained without trellis. Thus, this specie can be established without support like the common bean, allowing a great economic advantage especially at large scale plantings. The ecotype named ＂Quilapallar＂ was selected by its white and large grains and excellent cooking quality. Then, seed rates and dry grain yield were compared with commercial varieties of common bean. There was not statistical difference in yield among row distances, except when this was 25 cm apart. Besides, there was not statistical difference among Quilapallar and Torcaza INIA, although the later is a common bean variety with a high yield potential.展开更多
