SELEÇÃO DE GENÓTIPOS DE GRÃO-DE-BICO PARA REGIÃO DO OESTE-GOIANO

Abstract

Of the legumes used in human food, chickpeas have stood out for their nutritional characteristics. However, in Brazil, its consumption is still low and domestic production is not enough to meet the national demand. Despite several works already carried out, in Brazil there are few cultivars available, a fact that has limited its cultivation. The objective was to evaluate the production components and productivity of 20 chickpea genotypes in the region of Oeste Goiano. The experiment was set up in a randomized block design, with four replications. Planting was carried out on 04/12/2022, spacing 0.5m between rows, distributing 200,000 seeds.ha-1. Micro sprinkler irrigation was used. The harvest was carried out on 08/19/2022, when the height of the plants, number of branches per plant, weight of 1000 seeds, number of empty pods, with 1 and 2 grains, total per plant, and productivity were evaluated. Among the genetic materials tested, the GB 20 - 0 23, GB 06 - 089, GB 20 - 031, GB 05 - 155 and GB 06 - 068 genotypes stood out, showing productivity similar to that of the BRS Cristalino cultivar and adequate plant development, and should be prioritized in new studies aimed at selecting genotypes for the region.
