Yield and Quality Potential of Anisia Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) Varity
Abstract
Common bean is an economically, nutritionally, and socially important crop. In our country this species has tradition, is known as being present as cultivated crop since the 18th century. We have few Romanian approved creations in bean species. Local populations and foreign varieties were preferred to be introduced in crops. For these reasons, at V.R.D.S. Buzau appeared the necessity of completing the assortment of garden beans through a breeding programme released in 1996. Seed is a primary and essential starting point for a wide range of horticultural crops, including the majority of vegetables and many annual and biennial ornamentals. The study of the quantitative characters variability and correlation between them is very important for breeding process and conservative selection. The conservative selection scheme for each species it cannot be applied without knowing quantitative characters variability for each variety making easy the breeder activity in the selection process. Along with the culture introduction and conservative selection of the variety, a special attention was paid to maintaining the quantitative and qualitative characters variability limits focusing on assuring distinctibility, uniformity and stability. Romanian varieties deficit at these species imposed a special research program at Vegetable Research and Development Station Buzău. The breeding method used was individual selection after specific parameters, using the original material of local populations.
