A preliminary phenological study of six garden bean cultivars from Phaseolus vulgaris L. species
Main Article Content
Abstract
urban agriculture, garden bean standing out of them, which is
in great demand by our people in Cuba; however, Vigna
sesquipedalis is the favorite species for consumption that is
seeded just over spring-summer months. Besides, there is
another well-adapted species to our climatic conditions
pertaining to Phaseolus vulgaris L. which is very important,
since it can be either released for fresh consumption or
processed for industrial use in winter months. As there is little
knowledge of the species in Cuba, this investigation was aimed
to carry out a study on the phenological phases and crop
cycle in a group of garden bean varieties from Phaseolus
vulgaris L. Six varieties were studied between 2005 and 2006,
which were established in areas of the National Institute of
Agricultural Sciences (INCA); 15 plants per each variety were
selected and observed every three days, also analyzing yields
per m2 as well as daily-accumulated temperature. According to
the results, despite all are mid-cycle varieties, Bountiful and
Tendergreen can be classified as the earliest varieties (45-48
days) whereas Liver and Verlili as the latest ones (59-60 days);
therefore, the latter two presented a highly-accumulated
temperature and the best yield results.
