RESEARCH ON THE BEHAVIOR OF SOME GENOTYPES OF GARDEN BEANS ON THE SANDY SOILS OF SOUTHERN OLTENIA

The objective of this study is to present the behavior of 5 genotypes of garden beans: Ișalnița 43, Iuliana, Dabuleni Population (P1), Dabuleni Population (P2) and Ioana in the pedo-climatic conditions of the Dăbuleni area. The experiment is monofactorial and was located in the experimental field according to the method of randomized blocks in 3 repetitions. Cultivation technology specific to sandy soils was applied. Determinations were made regarding: number of pods per plant, length of pods, diameter of pods, average production achieve and phenological observations. The Ișalnița 43, P1, P2 genotypes stood out for their earliness, and the P1 genotype for the average production achieved. The weight of the pods varied between 15.59 g in the P2 genotype and 3.09 g in the Iuliana genotype.
