Nine bean cultivars common type carioca under five different planting densities: yield, yield components and reaction to diseases

Abstract

Seeking to maximize the gains obtained by breeding with the release of new cultivars, research in plant science must respond with studies that improve the management enabling the search for higher yields, combined with economic and environmental sustainability. Simple adjustments of management, such as the determination of plant population, allow the cultivation reach higher yields, regardless of the size of the farmer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of nine modern cultivars of carioca bean when grown under five seeding rates.
