Description:
Bellagio cranberry bean variety was developed from the cross: ND9904480/C03129. ND9904480 was a vine cranberry bean breeding line from North Dakota State University that had a large seed and exhibited superior canning quality but lacked favorable agronomic traits. ND9904480 was extremely late maturing, with a prostrate vine habit that retained leaves and green stem at maturity. C03129 was a bush cranberry breeding line from MSU derived from cross (C97407*2/Negro San Luis) selected to possess root rot tolerance from the Mexican black bean variety Negro San Luis.
