Carioca bean cultivars under different sowing density

Abstract

In order that the farmers can explore the richness and the diversity of the new bean cultivars improved by genetic breeding, the agronomic research must answer with studies that improve the management system, making possible to obtain high yield allied to economic and environmental sustainability, supporting the practice of the modern agriculture. One of the most important aspects of management that have a substantial impact in the performance of the production systems, is the sowing density, primordial to a good plant arrangement in the field and good bean yield. The aim of this paper was evaluate the behavior of eight different bean cultivars type ‘‘Carioca’’ under six different sowing densities.
