Being a common weed L. tuberosus experienced a growing spread in agriculture white luvicsoils from southernterritory. The cause is the best its adaptability to the existing conditions. The studies of its variability may bring somenew information on how the adaptation has occured, as well as highlighting some new features of the fruits and beansof this species. Racemous fruits has lengths between 9 and 20 cm, with a higher frequency to 12-14 cm. Number of podsof racemous fruit was between 1 and 6, predominantly by 2-3 pods. Pods length was between 2.2 and 3.6 cm, with thehigher percentage between 2.8 and 3.0 cm. Pod width was between 3.5 and 5.2 mm, with greater frequency from 4.4-4.6mm. Number beans in a pod varied between 0.5 and 4.1, with higher frequency of 1.8-2.1. Chickling grain length wasbetween 3.5 and 5.2 mm, 4.1-4.3 mm hugh frequency. Thickness between 2.8-3.9 mm grain was, and the dominant werebetween 3.0-3.3 mm.
