Evaluation for fresh consumption of new broad bean genotypes with a determinate growth habit in central Chile

Abstract

Broad bean (Vicia faba L. [unranked] major (Harz) Beck) is usually consumed dry. In Chile, however, broad bean is grown as a vegetable crop with indeterminate genotypes. The new 'Alargá', 'Retaca' and 'Verde Bonita' broad bean genotypes, which have a determinate growth habit, were evaluated in six irrigated environments in central Chile at three locations (Rancagua, Talca, and Talagante) and on two planting dates (F1 and F2; 1-mo apart). The aim was to characterize their yield and select the best-yielding genotypes in terms of pod yield (PY) and fresh grain yield (GY). The best location(s) to produce fresh pods and fresh grain were also identified and described. Fresh grain yield and components were measured and the genotype × environment interaction (G×E) was analyzed. Pod yield differed among genotypes; 'Verde Bonita' and 'Retaca' had the highest PY (15 500 kg ha -1 , 8% higher than 'Alargá'). There was a G×E interaction for GY and 'Retaca' had its highest yield in Talca on the two planting dates and in Rancagua when planted late (F2). Mean GY of 'Retaca' was 3900 kg ha -1 with the highest number of grains per 1 m 2 (NG). The best GY was related to a higher seasonal photothermal quotient (ranging from 1.15 to 1.82 MJ m -2 d -1 °C -1 , r = 0.90, P ≤ 0.001). The lowest GY was in Talagante on F1. Genotypes differed in yield composition; 'Retaca' had many small pods giving many seeds per unit area and 'Verde Bonita' had large pods yielding fewer grains per unit area. The 'Retaca' genotype is preferred by the frozen broad bean industry, whereas 'Verde Bonita' is preferred by the fresh broad bean market.

Análisis de 35 cultivares de haba por su producción de vaina verde y otros componentes del rendimiento

“…These values are higher than the state average of Mexico, which is 6 t ha -1 and are located within the range recorded by Baginsky et al (2013) of 7. 6.…”

“…El cultivar 32 (12.83 t ha -1 ), denominado San Pedro Tlaltizapán, fue superior en rendimiento en verde (RV), seguido de 1, 6, 20, 31, 2, 4, 7, 8 y 35 entre 11.15 y 12.42 t ha -1 ; (Cuadro 5, Figura 1). Estos valores son mayores a la media del estado de México, que es de 6 t ha -1 , y se localizan en el intervalo registrado por Baginsky et al (2013), de 7. 6 a 15.…”

Evaluation of vegetable–faba bean (Vicia faba L.) intercropping under Latvian agro‐ecological conditions

“…Overall the immature pods yields were a 25.8% (on average) lower than those reported in the literature, which are between 0.39 and 1.55 kg m −2 . 30,31 The differences between the two faba bean genotypes ('VF_001' and 'VF_002'), concerning the immature pods and mature seeds yield in 2014 and 2015, revealed that 'VF_001' is better adapted to the changing climatic conditions than 'VF_002', which must be taken into consideration when selecting the cultivar according to the agro-environmental conditions of the geographical area (northern Europe).…”

“…This fact could be due to the shallow root system characteristic of onions, which competes (with a disadvantage) with the dense root system of faba bean for water and nutrients. Since almost 65% of the faba bean root system is located at a depth of 0.15 m, 30 and its water demand is high, 9 the competing ability of faba bean is quite strong for onion. 35 The sensitiveness of onion to water deficiency has been already reported by Kalbartcyk et al, under Polish agro-climatic conditions, which supports the relatively low yield of onions in faba bean intercropping.…”
