Frequency and water supply on inerie kidney bean production in dry lowland of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the frequency and amount of water supply that provided the best production potential of Inerie kidney bean seed variety that were cultivated in the dry lowlands of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). The variables observed were number of filled and empty pods, number and weight of seeds and weight of 100 seeds. The results of the study informed that the frequency of giving water every day gave the highest number of filled pods per plant which was 17.10 pods, the lowest number of empty pods per plant was 0.263 pods, the highest number of seeds per plant was 62.113 g, and the weight of the 100 best seeds was 44.668 g. The amount of water given twice each frequency of water gave the highest number of seeds, which was 54.708 grains, and the weight of the 100 best seeds was 43.487 g. There was a correlation between frequency and amount of watering for seed weight per plant which was 20,800 g. The results of this study informed that the Inerie variety has the potential to be developed in drylands of lowlands.
