Avaliação de densidades de semeadura da cultivar de feijoeiro-comum BRS FC409 no inverno em uberlândia-mg

Abstract

Beans are one of the most consumed and important foods in the world, including in Brazil, being part of the daily diet of millions of Brazilians. This work is part of the Phytotechnical Adjustment Trials of Bean Cultivars, developed by Embrapa Rice and Beans in various areas of Brazil, and aimed to evaluate different sowing densities of the BRS FC409 cultivar, from the carioca group, for agronomic characteristics, in the winter, in Uberlândia-MG. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm Água Limpa of the Federal University of Uberlândia, where this cultivation was a winter crop, sown on May 16, 2018, and harvested on August 27 of the same year. Five different sowing densities (6, 9, 12, 15, and 18) of carioca group beans were evaluated, where the experiment was carried out in randomized blocks (DBC), with five treatments and four repetitions, totaling 20 plots. Each plot consisted of two rows, spaced 0.5 m apart, with a length of five meters, totaling 5m² of total area and 5m² of useful area, as both cultivated rows were harvested. The agronomic characteristics used for density evaluation were pods per plant, grains per pod, 100-grain weight, yield, and final plants. The results obtained did not show significant differences for pods per plant, grains per pod, 100-grain weight, and yield in the F test, presenting 1% significance for final plants.
