Four Lithuanian and foreign cultivars of common beans were investigated at the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry during the 2019n2020 periods. The experiment was carried in the experimental field where 5 different combinations of macro- and micro- nutrients and growth regulators were applied. Main yield parameters as productivity, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and plant, seed weight was estimated. Plant height, the length and diameter of pod and seed were measured. It was determined that morphological features and productivity of common bean is influenced by genotype and combination of growth regulators applied. The tendency of higher total yield and number of pods per plant formation was observed in the combination where nutrients+amino acids were used. Cultivar Carlos distinguished to the results of the highest productivity up to 5.12 t ha -1 . Number of pods per plant of mentioned cultivar reached 72.5 pcs. Cultivar Igolomska distinguished with the highest weight of seeds. 1000 seeds weighted up to 509.0 g.
