Abstract

In Cuba, bean production has been decreasing in recent years; therefore, the current challenge for producers is to increase it using environmentally friendly technologies. For this reason, the objective of this research was to determine the effect that applications with algae extracts have on the bean grain production. For this, an experiment was carried out in the Central Area of INCA (National Institute of Agricultural Sciences), where seeds from two lines that are in the registration phase were used, one with red grains (C-8) and another with white grains (C-13), which were sown on January 22, 2023. Three foliar sprays were carried out (25, 39 and 53 days after sowing); in the case of line C-8, three treatments were evaluated: 1) control, 2) two sprays with spirulina extract 20 mg ha-1 and one with sargassum extract 2 % and 3) two sprays with extract of spirulina 40 mg ha-1 and another with 20 mg ha-1. In line C-13, the effect of three sprays with sargassum extract was evaluated, the first with 0.3 % and the other two with 2 %. The results showed that two foliar sprays with spirulina extract 20 mg ha-1 and one with sargassum extract 2 %; as well as three foliar sprays with sargassum extract were effective increasing the grain weight of lines C-8 and C-13 by 30 and 48.6 %, respectively.
