“…In some Brazilian States, yield exceeds 2,500 kg ha -1 (Conab 2015). According to Ramalho et al (2012) and Carbonell et al (2012), progress in grain yield, as well as in technological and nutritional quality, is greatly attributed to genetic breeding.…”

The increase in grain yield and other agronomic traits, in common bean cultivars, is due, in large part, to its genetic breeding. This study aimed at estimating the genetic progress for grain yield and other important agronomic traits in black common bean cultivars recommended by Brazilian breeding programs between 1960 and 2013. A randomized blocks design was used, with three replications and 40 black common bean cultivars. The following traits were evaluated: grain yield and appearance, plant architecture, number of pods per plant and seeds per pod and 1,000-seed weight. The genetic progress was estimated from the trait averages over the years, using bissegmented linear regression models that allowed the inference of the exact year in which the black common bean breeding began to present significant genetic progress. For grain yield, the genetic progress was observed from 1988, with an annual gain of 2.42 %. Improvements also occurred to grain appearance (1.85 %), plant architecture (1.35 %), number of pods per plant (2.36 %) and seeds per pod (2.24 %) and 1,000-seed weight (1.42 %), mainly after 1989.

“…Perhaps the starting point is foundation of the Estação Agronômica de Campinas (Campinas Agronomic Station) by D. Pedro II in 1887 (Carbonell et al 2012). This Station gave rise to the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas -IAC (Campinas Agronomic Institute), whose impact on Brazilian agribusiness is quite notable (Carbonell et al 2012 Sediyama et al (2012). Research activities on a national level began in 1940 with the creation of the Serviço Nacional de Pesquisa Agronômica [National Agronomic Research Service], which has undergone some changes through time.…”

“…Even so, it may be inferred that it was greatest for coffee. It should be highlighted that with coffee growing, a perennial plant, appropriations of the results of research are long term and this progress certainly reflects the work of the IAC with this crop, which had already begun some decades ago (Carbonell et al 2012). In the case of soybeans, progress was also expressive and reflected the effort in research and expansion of the planted area to the center-west region and later to the north of the country.…”

“…The IAC, without a doubt, made a great contribution to agricultural research. For example, the success of coffee growing in São Paulo in the 20th Century occurred due to the contributions of research carried out at IAC (Azevedo 2004, Ramalho et al 2010, Carbonell et al 2012). However, because IAC was a state research institute, it was focused on problems of the state of São Paulo.…”
