Agronomic characteristics of genus Vigna L. related to forage

Abstract

Among many species of genus Vigna L. are cowpea, V. unguiculata (L.) Walp., mung bean, V. radiata (L.) Wilczek, and adzuki bean, V. angularis (Willd.) Ohwi & Ohashi, that are almost completely unknown in Serbia and Montenegro. A small-plot trial was set up in 2005 at the Rimski Šančevi Experiment Field of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad. The cultivars of cowpea had the greatest average values of plant height (114 cm), number of stems per plant (1,4), number of internodes (13,2) and plant mass (30,19 g). The greatest average yield of fresh weight was found in the cultivars of cowpea (23,4 t ha-1), while the greatest average yield of hay was in the cultivars of adzuki bean (5,1 t ha-1).

Rod Vigna L. obuhvata veći broj vrsta, među kojima su i crnookica, V. unguiculata (L.) Walp., mungo pasulj, V. radiata (L.) Wilczek, i azuki pasulj, V. angularis, (Willd.) Ohwi & Ohashi, koje su u Srbiji i Crnoj Gori skoro u potpunosti nepoznate. Mikroogled sa vrstama roda Vigna postavljen je tokom 2005. godine na Oglednom polju Naučnog instituta za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo na Rimskim Šančevima. Sorte crnookice odlikovale su se najvećim prosečnim vrednostima visine biljke (114 cm), broja stabala po biljci (1,4), broja članaka (13,2) i mase biljke (30,19 g). Najviši prosečni prinos zelene krme postigle su sorte crnookice (23,4 t ha-1), dok su najviši prosečni prinos sena ostvarile sorte azuki pasulja (5,1 t ha-1).
