Weather conditions in the years of analysis were very different. That has reflected even on the examined morphological characteristics and the bean yield. The statistical processing of data has been done by the split-plot method. The use of microbiological fertilizer and varieties had a significant influence on the examined characteristics, except on the number of lateral branches. A positive correlation between the yield and plant height, number of lateral branches, nodule mass (symbiotic bacteria on the bean’s root), number of pods and grain mass has been determined.Dvogodišnji eksperiment sa uzgojem pasulja sproveden je na Fakultetu za biofarming na eksperimentalnom polju u Backoj Topoli u krečnoj crnici u okviru organskog sistema proizvodnje.

Isozyme analysis (Koening and Gepts, 1989) and the analysis of phaseolin seed storage protein pointed out to two different groups of P. vulgaris. It was found out that there was a relationship between geographic distribution and phaseolin type in wild and cultivated bean varieties. Samples from Central America had primarily S phaseolin type, with a few exceptions having M type. Samples from Andes had primarily T phaseolin type, and some had C, H, A, J, or I type. There are bean varieties with S and C/T phaseolin type, revealing that multiple events of gene recombination happened during domestication process (Brown et al., 1982, Gepts et al., 1986). The aim of this work was to evaluate 15 bean varieties, using phaseolin seed protein and isozymes analysis, the genetic variability as well as to relate their origin to the Mesoamerican and Andrean gene pools. The results may...

Its dry grain is used in human nutrition. It is valued as traditional and modern food and medicine, protein source, and high-energy concentrated food. It is an important crop in agricultural production and international trade of many countries, economically viable and good preceding crop. Dry beans are considered the national dish of all people from Balkans, and it is inviolable in Serbia. Crossing of important trade routes, land and climate, turbulent history, which caused frequent population migrations, led to a great divergence of bean germplasm in our area. Domestic bean populations are exceptional genetic potential for breeding of new varieties that could give satisfactory results in these environmental conditions, with the application of appropriate cultivation technology. Areas under beans in Serbia are declining. Due to short vegetation and other biological traits, bean is very intensive and sensitive crop. This is em...

The objective of this study was to measure trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) of different legumes using microtiter plate method and to identify factors that contribute to uncertainty of TIA measurement. TIA measurements were performed on seeds of faba bean, pea, common vetch, soybean, and common bean cultivars. The significant effect of legume crop on TIA measurement uncertainty was confirmed with P = 0.045. Certain sources of measurement uncertainty were related with the content of trypsin inhibitors (Tis) in legume seeds. In respect to that, significant effect of level of sample dilution (P ˂ 0.001) was confirmed. Significant influence of the repeated absorbance measurement of sample reaction mixture on uncertainty of TIA measurement was identified (P ˂ 0.001), and it took 60% of overall TIA measurement uncertainty for soybean cultivars. TIA of soybean cultivars exceeded 90 TUI/mg. Repeated absorbance measurement of positive control reaction mixture took 70% of TIA measurement uncertainty of cultivars with TIA lesser than 4.5 TUI/mg. Graduated cylinder used for preparation of the final sample solutions took the range from 45 to 90% of overall TIA measurement uncertainty of the cultivars whose TIA were in the middle of previously mentioned. The uncertainty of TIA measurement of legume crops was not studied before; thus, this study pointed out that acquiring insight into factors contributing to uncertainty of TIA measurement could give directions for improvement of TIA testing if microtiter plate method is used.

The paper evaluates the variety’s agronomic performances and its characteristics of quality in two locations over a three year period. The new variety is characterised by yellow-brown flattened bulbswith high dry matter (12.2 to 14.5%), high glucose and sucrose content, and a mildly pungent flavour. Expansion of production of domestic varieties of high quality such as Konjica’s onion, should increase domestic onion production and reduce imports from abroad.

This study is concerned with the coagulation activity of extracts of various strains of bean. The aim was to ascertain if bean varieties influence coagulation activity. Active components were extracted from 1 g of ground sample with 100 ml distilled water. Contents of dry matter and nitrogen were specified in the solid samples, and the content of soluble nitrogen was determined in the extracts. These data were used to calculate the efficiency of extraction of nitrogen-containing compounds. The coagulation activity was assessed by jar test using synthetic turbid water, of the initial pH 9 and turbidity 35 NTU. The jar test was carried out by adding different amounts of extracts to model water, and stirring the content. After sedimentation for 1 h, residual turbidity was determined by turbidimeter and coagulation activity was calculated. The increment of organic matte...

Various benefits of this production method have been confirmed by the results of many authors. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of using a cycloxydim-tolerant maize hybrid to expand the ability of weed control in intercroping systems with bean. Three-year field trials were conducted from 2015 to 2017, at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in the vicinity of Novi Sad. Cycloxydim-tolerant maize and dry bean were sown mechanically in alternating strips, with one strip consisting of 4 rows of maize and the other strip containing 6 rows of bean. Combinations of herbicides based on dimethenamid-P, linuron, bentazone and cycloxydim were studied. The effect of herbicides on the number of weeds, fresh weed mass and grain yield of bean and maize was evaluated. No phytotoxicity of the herbicides was observed on the crops, indicating the...
