AS 148 is one of the first-generation red speckled beans to be released with BCMV and rust resistance combined with an indeterminate short-vine growth habit. Despite being one of the oldest cultivars on the market, it still has traction in certain markets. Disease resistance, growth habit and seed qualities in modern cultivars have all improved dramatically since the release of AS 148, but its wide adaptation is still regarded as the industry gold standard.
