Caracterização morfológica e rendimento de genótipos de feijão para produção de sementes

Abstract

The bean is a legume of great socioeconomic value, being grown mainly in small and medium farms. Its production prevails in rural properties of family agriculture, related to the low rate of use of seeds of the species. However, its planted area, as well as the productivity of the species are on the rise, driven by the development of new cultivars by research bodies. In order to corroborate with the advancement of cultivation, the aim was to characterize the morphology, seed quality and yield components of bean seeds, also helping to characterize germplasm. In addition to the physiological quality, it is important to highlight the genetic and biochemical sweeping of plants and seeds, which contributes positively to the characterization and specificities of the species and its varieties. The search for the most productive genotypes and the breadth of their production, added to the most varied production systems and different technological levels of the producers, are decisive for increasing the crop's yield.
