Association between agro-morphological traits in common bean under organic fertilization management in Brazil

The objective of this work was to analyze the association between agro-morphological traits of the common bean cultivar “BRS Esplendor” under organic fertilization management. The experiment was implemented in the field, in a randomized block design, with three replications, in a split plot scheme, with two types of organic compounds (grass enriched with cattle manure and bean straw enriched with cattle manure) applied in six doses (0.0, 33.32, 66.65, 100.00, 133.32 and 166.65%). The control treatment comprised the recommended mineral fertilization. The characteristics include total number of pods, plant height and pod lengths are determinant to directly increase grain yield. The indirect determinant includes total weight of pods, total number of grains, plant height, root length and length of pods that had a positive effect with high magnitude on the characteristic total number of pods.\r\n\r\n\t \r\n\r\n\tKey words: Phaseolus vulgaris, correlations, track analysis.
