Selection for Drought Resistance in Dry Bean Landraces and Cultivars

Drought is a worldwide constraint to dry bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production. The objective of this research was to determine the response of three dry bean landraces and 13 cultivars evaluated under non‐stressed (NS) and intermittent drought‐stressed (DS) environments at Kimberly, Idaho in 2003 and 2004. The NS received seven irrigations in 2003 and five in 2004, and DS only four in 2003 and two in 2004. Most water use occurred within the...
