Evaluation of Canavalia brasiliensis Mart. ex Benth. genotypes for seed production in the Colombian Caribbean
The seed production capacity to facilitate the adoption and conservation of these species by producers. The objective of this research was to evaluate genotypes of Canavalia brasiliensis Mart. ex Benth. for seed production. The research work was carried out at the Motilonia Research Center of the Colombian Corporation for Agricultural Research - AGROSAVIA. Four accessions of C. brasiliensis (17009, 17462, 21461 and 21825) from the International Center for Tropical Agriculture-CIAT were evaluated. They were established in 3.0 x 3.0 m plots, with 0,5 x 0,5 m between plants and furrows. The statistical effect of the different accessions of C. brasiliensis on the number of pods per capacity, pod length, pod diameter, seeds per pod, weight of 100 seeds, seed diameter and yield was analyzed by means of an ANOVA analysis of a via, complying with a BCA design. The statistical effect of the different accessions of C. brasiliensis on the number of pods per sampling, 0,25 m2, pod length, pod diameter, seeds per pod, weight of 100 seeds, seed diameter and yield, was analyzed using an ANOVA one-way analysis, complying with a BCA design. The accessions of C. brasiliensis, showed a significant statistical effect on the number of pods per sampling, pod diameter, seed diameter, weight of 100 seeds and seed yield. The best result in terms of yield was for accessions 17462, 21825 y 17009 with values of 745,6, 584,9 and 509,9 kg/ha, respectively, indicating the potentialities of C. brasiliensis. The accessions 17462, 21825 and 17009 of C. brasiliensispresented good seed production under conditions of the Colombian dry Caribbean, which constitutes an important characteristic for the selection of promising genotypes for animal feed.
