| Abstract: | The butter bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is the second most important legume of this genus due to the protein content and distinctive taste. This bean is used worldwide in the most diverse cuisines, receiving various names, depending on the cultivated area and forms used for human consumption (Martínez-Castillo et al., 2008). In the United States, it is popularly known as lima bean, butter bean, Sieva bean and sugar bean (Oliveira et al., 2004). The butter bean is considered more tolerant to drought, excess moisture and heat when compared to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and adapting to the most varied environmental conditions (Vieira, 1992). This is important because the predictions of climate change indicate significant changes in rainfall patterns over the coming decades (Borém & Ramalho, 2011). Despite its adaptive potential, related to butter bean crop is still incipient. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the adequacy of methodology of the electrical conductivity test for butter bean seed varieties. |
