Serbian breeding for your garden

The «Dvadesetica» bean variety from the Serbian institute IFVCNS (Novi Sad) is a prime example of high-quality European breeding for vegetable farming. In the climate of the Balkans, where high yield and taste are paramount, this variety has established a solid niche among farmers and private growers who prefer cultivating traditional green beans.

Agronomic features

«Dvadesetica» belongs to the climbing type of beans, requiring the installation of trellises or supports for optimal growth. Unlike bush varieties, this type maximizes the use of vertical space in the field, ensuring a high concentration of pods per unit area. Key characteristics of the variety include:

• Maturity period: the growing season exceeds 100 days, classifying it as a mid-to-late variety.
• Type: sugar (string/green) bean, intended for consumption as whole pods before the seeds become tough.
• Pod appearance: in the technical maturity stage, it is characterized by attractive pod colors ranging from light green to rich yellow, making it sought after for both home cooking and the food processing industry.

The reputation of IFVCNS as a leading agricultural research center in the region guarantees high germination rates and the stability of the genetic traits of «Dvadesetica». Utilizing this variety allows growers to obtain a consistent harvest of tender produce with high commercial quality.
