Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the filet bean category, which implies harvesting young pods for whole consumption. In international UPOV variety testing documentation, Pluto is used as a reference sample when describing seed shape and cross-section classification of the pod.

Results of variety trials conducted in the mid-1990s confirm the high productivity of the plant. The pods of this variety are distinguished by increased firmness compared to a number of other similar varieties.
