2 Conclusion
In the present study, we fulfilled the objective of the
study by evaluating the micronutrient (Fe, and Zn) and
protein contents of the common bean genotypes
collected from different regions of Jammu & Kashmir,
India. The findings from this study suggest that there
is a wide variability in Fe, Zn, and protein content in
this genetic stock. As such it can be used as a genetic
