Effects of nutrient foliar sprays in beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars

Abstract

This research deals with the effects of the application of three foliar fertilizers (Rhodia, Colombina and Wuxal)on growth and productivity of three beans cultivars (Carioca, Rosinha and Goiano), under greenhouse conditions. Plants growing in pots received three applications of the products at 10, 25 and 40 days after germination. Similar behavior was observed with the three cultivars. It was observed reduction in plant lenght treated with Wuxal, but no significant differences were found between the treatment with Rhodia 0,2 ml/l, Colombina 3 ml/l and Wuxal 2,5 ml/l on number of pods, number of seeds and seeds production.
