AC Alberta Pink is a large-seeded, high-yielding dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar. It was developed at the Lethbridge Research Centre in cooperation with the Morden Research Centre from a cross of ISB473/4/NW63/3/Swan Valley/2/Redkloud/Kentwood. AC Alberta Pink is particularly well adapted to the irrigated western Canadian prairies, exceeding Viva by 13% in yield, 16% in seed weight, and maturing on average 2 d earlier than Viva.
