SCS208 Cronos is a new common bean cultivar, belonging to the black seed group, developed by the Agricultural Research and Rural Extension Company of Santa Catarina (Epagri). This cultivar exhibits high grain yield combined with stability and adaptability across the entire state of Santa Catarina. It features excellent plant health, particularly with resistance to anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum), a disease that affects pods. The plants have a semi-erect architecture with an indeterminate growth habit, making them well-suited for mechanical harvesting. Its grains are typical of the black bean group, with a dull background and full elliptical shape. Cultivation is recommended throughout the southern region of Brazil during both the main and off-season crops.
