Summary Fifty-four land races of dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), indigenous to areas of Brazil where anthracnose (caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) is a common problem, were evaluated in field nurseries for partial resistance to race Brazilian 1 (B1) of C. lindemuthianum using symptom severity classes (SSC) from 0 to 6. Plants were selected if symptoms were present and the SSC was less than the 95% confidence interval of the mean SSC of the susceptible cultivar Carioca. S1 progeny from selected plants were evaluated in air-conditioned chambers for partial resistance to races B1, delta, and kappa of C. lindemuthianum. Of 246 S1 families evaluated, 145 families were partially resistant to one or two of the races [symptoms present, but S1 family mean significantly (p〈0.05) less than the mean of Carioca] and susceptible to the third. Six families were partially resistant to all three races. The remaining families were either susceptible or segregated for reaction to race B1. Partial resistance to C. lindemuthianum showed race specificity in the air-conditioned chambers and field nurseries.
