A study on determination of yield and plant characteristics of some dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes under Çankırı conditions

The aim of this study is to determine yield performance and some plant properties of some species registered with advanced dry bean lines under Çankırı conditions. The study is performed in the implementation areas at the Uluyazı Campus of Çankırı Karatekin University in 2015. Field area trials are arranged with a randomized complete block design with three replications. Four advanced lines obtained in a program aimed to develop a genotype that resists high temperature and drought provided from Black Sea Agricultural Research Institute (BSARI), totally seven dry bean genotypes are used as the plant material. Emergence Germination time, period until the first flower day and vegetation periods of genotypes were changed respectively 8-11 days, 40-43 days 88-95 days. According to the genotypes in the studied plant characters properties, the plant height, the number main braches, the number of grains in a pod and harvest index (p<0.01) indicate significant changes. While the number of pods, total yield and the weight of 1000 grains show important changes, the alterations in the first pod height, grain yield in the plant and grain yield are determined as slight. The grain yield of genotypes changes from 153,61 kg/da to 198,61 kg/da and the maximum value is given by F5.Ç.224 line even though it is insignificant statistically. Significant and positive relationship were found between total seed yield and total seed yield per plant (0.613**),biological yield per decare (0.559**).
