The Effect of Soil Moisture Level on Growing of Two Common Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L) Cultivars by Abiot molla agemas in (MAOPS)-Lupine publishers
The amounts of water use efficiency vary with climatic, soils and crop
ability to extract water in the soil. It has been frequently
reported, lack of water availability reduce the amount and yield of
common bean. The aim of study was to determine the effect of
soil moisture level on growth of two common bean cultivars. The study
was conducted in greenhouse. The design was factorial
arrangement in randomized complete block design. Forty eight treatment
pots were used for two common bean cultivars. Four
seeds were sown in 48 pots filled with 5cm soil depth and irrigated
until water dripping through perforated base. From total pots,
24 pots selected randomly and labeled as BULGA-70 cultivar and the rest
as CS-20-DK cultivar. After germination, only one uniform
plant was kept and five water treatments levels, 100 % (Control), 75%,
50% and 25% were applied by field capacity. Plant height,
leaf area and dry matters were measured. As results, plant height, leaf
area and dry weight in both cultivars were significant to soil
moisture condition. However, no significant difference was observed 100%
and 75% water levels in both cultivars. Therefore, 75%
water treatment level is advisable for farmers to minimize water wastage.
