Abstract: The aim of common bean breeding programs is the development of high-yielding cultivars, with multiple disease resistance and high technological and nutritional grain quality. Two cultivars, IAC-Alvorada with carioca grain, and IAC-Diplomata with black grain, meet these standards, according to the results of trials of Value for Cultivation and Use (VCU) 2005/2006/2007 in São Paulo. The cultivars, developed by the Instituto Agronômico de C ampinas, were registered by the MAPA/RNC.
