The varieties were seeded in November 20 th of 2009. The crop was attended according to basic orientation established into Agricultural Technical Instructive of garbanzo bean crop in Cuba. As result of this study could be established the most distinctive characteristics of each considered lines. In general, the most notable’s characteristics were registered between DI - 5 and DI - 9 lines and between theses and the rest. The most distinguish characters of the DI - 5 line were: growing habit semi erect; covert of grain with smooth aspect; high production of pod and grain per plant; small grain and a high yield expressed in grain per plant. The main characteristics of the DI - 5 line were: growing habit semi erect; grain of cream colour and rugs covert; a few number a pod and grain per plant and therefore a poor yield despite of produced grain of a high calibre. On the other hands, the lines rest showed characteristics intermediate with gradual differences between them. With a large growing cycle of harvest was distinguished the D - 19 Line (120 - 130 days).
