The Determination of Some Agronomic Properties of Lines Selected among Domestic Dry Bean Populations Collected from Kelkit Valley and Artvin Province

This study has been conducted to compare some agronomic properties of 23 bean lines selected among domestic dry bean populations collected from Kelkit Valley and Artvin province with the standard varieties. Domestic dry bean lines (23 number) and dry bean varieties (Zülbiye, Akdag, Goynuk 98, Sahin 90, Karacaşehir 90 and Onceler) have been used in the analysis. Trial has been established by sowing plants in 5 m rows with 70 cm gaps in augmented trial pattern on Samsun ecological conditions on 18.05.2011. Plant height, pods per plant, 100 seeds weight, seeds per plant and yield per plant have been determined. Variance analyses according to augmented pattern have been conducted on the collected data and group means were tested for significant (p<0.05) differences. Analysis has been determined that line K.1128 had the greatest plant height and 100 seeds weight with 106 cm and 48.62 g respectively where line A.26 had the greatest pods and seeds per plant with 68.66 and 261 respectively. Line K.1032 had the greatest yield per plant with 73.01 g. As a result, lines A.26, A.27 and A.341 among the dwarf lines and lines K.1012, K.1032 and K.1128 among the semi-dwarf lines have been chosen to be included in the yield trials.
