This work had the objective of involving the farmers in the selection of new common bean inbred lines. Ten experiments were carried out to evaluate nine inbreed lines and the commercial cultivar BRSMG Talismã in farm conditions of traditional common bean producers. The experimental design was a randomized complete blocks with three replications with plots of 10 rows of 5m each. Angular leaf spot severity and yield were evaluated and it was required from farmers to evaluate about the grain type. Inbred line OP-S-30 presented the highest mean grain yield in all environments, angular leaf spot tolerance and grain type with good acceptance according to the farmers. Besides the two inbred lines OP-S-16 and OP-S-80 presented higher performance. The results reinforced that the farmers and breeders really have very common objectives in relation to the desirable phenotypes for a common bean cultivar in the region.
