Abstract

From 1970 to 88 breeding programs for Phaseolus vulgarisant Phaseolus lunatus beans were followed at the INRA Antilles-Guyane, with some breeding generations grown in France or in Haïti. They may be considered as original by the use of haitian germplasm and some european varieties as a source of genes. Progenitors from U.S.A., Hawaii were used too. Among the programs which can be considered as achieved or close to their end we can quote the following number : 1 Red-mottled beans, dwarf plants tolerant to powdery mildew and other leaf diseases, for use in Haïti under moderate fertilization (0.30.30) ; 2. Black beans, semi indeterminate plants ; tolerant to powdery mildew and other leaf diseases, for use in Haïti ; 4. Black or dark red-striped bright red beans, with bright red pods, dwarf plants for the use as fresh-shelled beans in F.W.I. ; 5. Snap beans, climbing plants, resistant either ot Meloiogyne incognita or to powdery mildew (for familial gardens - breeding lines in course of homogeneization), for use in f.W.I. ; 8. Double purpose beans, producing either snap beans, or red fresh-shelled beans, for familial gardens in f.W.I., climbing plants (breeding lines in course of homogeneization) ; Phaseolus lunatus climbing lima-beans, resistant to Meioidogyne incognita, able to yield 6 months. ----- De 1970 à 1988 des programmes de croisements concernant Phaseolus vulgaris et Phaseolus lunatus ont été conduits au Centre I.N.R.A. Antilles- Guyane, avec suivi des descendances en France et en Haïti. Ces programmes peuvent être considérés comme originaux du fait qu'ils ont utilisé comme source de variabilité du matériel haïtien et des variétés européennes. Des parents originaires des U.S.A. et d'Hawaï furent également utilisés. Parmi les programmes qui peuvent être considérés comme terminés ou sur le point de l'être on peut citer les programmes suivants : 1. Haricots nains à grains rouges panachés, tolérants à l'oïdium et aux autres maladies foliaires, destinés à Haïti pour une culture sous faible fertilisation (0-30-30) ; 2. Haricots semi déterminés à grains noirs, tolérants à l'oïdium et aux autres maladies foliaires destinés à Haïti ; 4. Haricots nains à grains noirs, rayés rouge, rouge profond, avec des gousses à écosser frais pour les Antilles Françaises ; 5. Haricots mange-tout grimpants, résistants soit à Meloidogyne incognita soit l'oïdium (pour les jardins familiaux, lignées en cours de fixation), destinées aux Antilles Françaises ; 8. Haricots grimpants à double fin, soit mange-tout soit à écosser en frais à grains rouges, pour les jardins familiaux des Antilles Françaises. (Lignées en cours de fixation). Phaseolus lunatus- Poids savon grimpants, résistants à Meloidogyne incognita, capables de produire pendant 6 mois.
