Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety Compass (Vicia faba) is known as a spring form of faba bean used as source genetic material in breeding work. Detailed morphological characteristics of this variety are absent in open sources, and the name itself is more often encountered in lists of varieties for spring sowing or in the genealogy of other breeding lines.

The name Compass is also widely used to designate a variety of dwarf green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Unlike the faba bean, for the bean with this name, characteristics of resistance to diseases such as anthracnose and bean common mosaic virus have been recorded.
