Eight lines and 2 registered control varieties (Inci and Menemen-92) were used in the experiment and four replications were established at random blocks trial design. In this study, characteristics of yield, hundred grain weight, plant height, first pod height, number of pods per plant, number of twig per plant, number of flowering and ripening days were analysed and the relationships among them were determined. According to two years, combined average, the highest grain yield was obtained from KMN 05-589 with 270.7 kg da-1 and the highest grain yield from KMN 05-428 with 53.3 g. The highest plant height was obtained from KMN 05-41 with 71.0 cm and the first od height from KMN 05-589 with 44.2 cm. Regarding the number of beans in the plant, by 19.8 seeds line KMN 05-428 had the most seeds, two twigs were found in all lines. The earliest flowering occurred in the CV Inci with 79 days, and the earliest ripening occurred in Menemen-92 and Inci with 122 days. Statistically significant differences were found between varieties and lines in terms of weight, plant height, first pod height, number of pods per plant, number of flowering and ripening days. Yield variety x year interactions was not found important. According to the result of correlation analysis; the mutual relationships of, plant height with first pod height, plant height and first pod height with number of flowering days, plant height and first pod height with number of ripening days, and number of flowering days with number of ripening days were determined very important and positive.
