Snap beans are one of the ten most consumed vegetables in Brazil, and there are few cultivars available in the Brazilian market. This study aimed to evaluate the seed yield of 20 snap beans genotypes under conventional and organic systems under Brazilian Cerrado conditions. Plant height, number of seeds per pod, weight of 100 seeds and yield were evaluated. For plant height and number of seeds per pod, the 20 genotypes were equal in the conventional cultivation system. In the organic system, the 20 genotypes formed two distinct groups regarding these variables. In the conventional system there were no significant differences between genotypes regarding the weight of 100 seeds, the mean mass in this system was 19.08 g, but there were differences in the organic system. Regarding yield, there was significant difference between the genotypes for both cultivation systems, organic and convetional. Production of snap bean cultivars in the organic system was shown as viable and promising. The genotypes Amarelo Japonês, Hab 1 and Tendergreen Improved stood out among the most productive in both systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
