Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a strategic crop due to its nutritional value and its association with nitrogen-fixing microorganisms; however, in regions such as Chincha (Peru), yields remain low, highlighting the need for improved management alternatives. The agronomic response of the lines Larán Mejorado and Waf 78/20 to the application of compost and BlackSoil at rates of 8 and 16% (w/w) was evaluated under a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial arrangement and two controls, with four replicates under screenhouse conditions. Twelve agromorphological variables and substrate bulk density were evaluated and analyzed through main effects and interactions, parametric and non-parametric tests, Pearson correlation coefficients, and principal component analysis (PCA). The genetic factor was identified as the main source of variation. Larán Mejorado exhibited a more uniform response, earlier development, and improved yield components, favored by compost application. In contrast, Waf 78/20 was associated with greater vegetative growth and higher sensitivity to changes in substrate bulk density; in this line, BlackSoil application was related to longer phenological cycles and lower seed weight. These findings indicate that genetics plays a major role in determining the response to organic amendments, highlighting the importance of genotype in management practices; however, these results should be validated under field conditions and across multiple environments.
