Selection of varieties of common red bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), tolerant to drought in different irrigation conditions in the field

Abstract:

The present work's objective was to select more tolerant varieties of red beans to the field's drought. It came right one experiment with five varieties of red-colored common beans (Buenaventura, CC 25-9 Colorado, Velazco Largo, La Cuba 154, and Delicia 364) different conditions of soil water. Indicators of performance were evaluated in different irrigation conditions, 5 irrigations (drought), and 10 irrigations (optimal humidity conditions). With the yield data in the two conditions of humidity, the intensity of drought (IIS), drought resistance (ISS), and yield losses were calculated. The statistical analysis was accomplished using the program InfoStat version 2011. It took place to conclude that the studied varieties showed the most tolerant behavior in Cuba Cueto 25-9 Rojo, La Cuba 154 y Delicia 364.
