RESISTANCE LINES OF SNAP BEAN TO FUSARIUM WILT (\u3ci\u3eFusarium oxysporum\u3c/i\u3e f. sp. \u3ci\u3ephaseoli\u3c/i\u3e) (original) (raw)

INTRODUCTION The genus Phaseolus is attacked by soil fungus, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Phaseol, which causes wilt or yellowing (Nunes, 2003), and once introduced to crops, has its most viable and effective control with the use of resistant cultivars (Sartorato & Rava, 1994). Considering that obtaining disease-resistant cultivars is one of the most efficient ways to avoid considerable losses of productivity (Pereira & Ribeiro, 2012), this work aimed to evaluate the performance of snap bean of determined growth as resistance to Fusarium Oxysporum f. sp. Phaseoli during the development of plants. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four strains of bean pods of determined growth habit were evaluated, using as a control the cultivar UEL 1. The sowing occurred on 04/03/2011, with five seeds per pot. For sowing, ceramic vessels with a capacity of five liters were used, with spacing of 0.1 m x 0.6 m between vessels. The soil used consisted of a clay soil with a clay texture, corrected through the formulat...
