Yield of Cubans and Venezuelan genotypes of common bean, grown in drought conditions

Abstract:

In the majority of common-bean productive zones, the potential yields are never reached. This is because common bean is cultivated under non favorable climatic conditions. The identification of varieties with good yields, under conditions of drought, is all a challenge. For that purpose, the aim of the present work was to evaluate productive cultivar's indicators of common bean, in conditions of drought, at the "Empresa Socialista Mixta Leguminosas del ALBA" at Urachiche's zone, Yaracuy's state, Venezuela. All used seeds were previously evaluated in conditions of experimental drought, and the more tolerant candidates were detected. An in-bloc at random design with three repetitions was used, and planting was made in three rows of 7 m in length x 0.80 m in width, with a density of 357 seeds per variety, for repetition. The average weight per plot of land, average number of pods per plants, average number of …
