Abstract: IAPAR 81 is a common bean cultivar developed by the Agronomic Institute of Parand State ( IAPAR). It belongs to the carioca commercial group and has yield potential similar to that of the Carioca cultivar, broad adaptation and erect stem for direct mechanical harvesting. TAPAR 81 was resistant to the common mosaic virus and moderately resistant to anthracnose, rust and powdery mildew. It also presented good tolerance to high temperature and short periods of water stress which may happen during the reproductive stage.
