Seven accessions and two improved varieties of lima beans were studied for two years at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Chintapalle to test their suitability for the high altitude and tribal zone of Andhra Pradesh. The variety T2 and Acc.No. 6 performed better over the other accession numbers during both the years of study. The variety T2 and Acc.No. 6 had the maximum no. of pods / plant and no. of seeds / pod which were followed by RNLB-1. The yield of T2 and Acc.No. recording a mean yield of 13.66q/ha and 13.04q/ha respectively were identified as suitable varieties for rainfed cultivation in high altitude and tribal zone of Andhra Pradesh.
