Characterization of three new varieties of Vigna unguiculata ('IPA 206' and 'IPA 207' Y 'guariba') in Cuba

Abstract

The research was conducted on a fairly soft Brown soil washing vignas varieties (‘IPA 206’, ‘IPA 207’ and ‘Guariba’) recently introduced in our country. Its main objective is to characterize varieties under our climatic conditions. Having as main results achieved include in the record as the characterization of varieties developed by our institute using two seasons, the indeterminate growth habit with pods distributed throughout the plant stands in the varieties ‘IPA 206’ and ‘IPA 207’, while the ‘Guariba’ is determined by finding these distributed over the plant, as regards the yield, the variety ‘IPA 207 ‘is higher than that obtained by ‘PA 206’ and ‘Guariba’, the weight of 1000 seed varieties ‘Guariba’ and ‘IPA 206’ are greater than the weight of the ‘IPA 207’, the variety ‘Guariba’ is economically more profitable than the ‘IPA 206’ and ‘IPA 207’ by employing a number crop much lower than those above. It can be sown during all seasons, but it is best in cold weather to obtain seed and summer to produce where it is more productive and can replace the common bean. Tolerate water stress and high rainfall regime, except at harvest and does not allow puddling.
