Snap bean is a popular and promising vegetable in Southeastern Brazil. The aim of the current study is to use the multivariate analysis as tool to select snap bean genotypes presenting desired agronomic traits. The study followed a randomized block experimental design, with 4 repetitions and 30 genotypes. The principal component and biplot analyses, as well as clustering, were conducted according to the UPGMA method in order to investigate the mean pod weight (MPW), number of seeds per pod (NSP), pod length (PL), pod width (PWi), total pods (MNP), weight of one hundred seeds (W100S), pod yield (PY) and grain yield (GY). The PL, NSP, MPW and W100S presented positive correlation with GY, besides their indication to direct genotype selection. The PWi and TP were efficient for PY selection. The multivariate analyses suggested the selection of lines UENF 7-10-1, UENF 7-12-1 and UENF 7-20-1, which presented good seed yield, as well as of UENF 14-22-3 and UENF 14-23-3, which showed aptitude to production. Lines located in Group II (UENF 14-4-3, UENF 15-6-4, UENF 7-4-1, UENF 7-9-1, UENF 7-7-1, UENF 7-5-1) did not have good performance in the measured traits and could be discarded. Line UENF 1445 "PARENT 19" proved its potential for seed yield, thus it was promising for the development of productive genotypes. Line 14-3-3 presented good aptitude for negatively correlated variables, because it associated good trait with morphology, seed yield, and pod and grain yield morphological traits.
