Component production of castor bean crop irrigated by different soil water tensions

Genetic divergence and physiological quality of dwarf castor bean lines seeds

“…The development of new materials which favor crop treatments and mechanized harvest, associated with a high grain yield with high physiological quality, is essential for the crop success.Castor bean breeding programs look for traits of agronomic interest in germplasm banks to incorporate them into new cultivars (Oliveira Neto et al 2019). Grain yield is the most studied one (Rios et al 2013. The characterization of genotypes used in breeding programs provides useful information to understand and take advantage of their diversity (Cerqueira-Silva et al 2014).…”
