dc.description.abstract La habichuela (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) y el gandul [Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill] son leguminosas de importancia económica en Puerto Rico. Los objetivos de esta investigación fueron: (1) evaluar la respuesta de germoplasma de habichuela recientemente desarrollado al hongo Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goidanich, y (2) comparar el comportamiento agronómico de híbridos versus genotipos de gandul. Los genotipos de semilla blanca UPR-Mp-37 y UPR-Mp-48 tuvieron una respuesta intermedia en el invernadero y el campo a las cepas PRI21, PRI22, y PRI23M de M. phaseolina en ensayos en Isabela y Lajas. Los dos genotipos tuvieron una ganancia genética de resistencia a M. phaseolina de > 25% comparado a ‘Beníquez’ y ‘Verano’que fueron susceptibles a todas las cepas del hongo. Para el gandul, los híbridos 13KLAF1 y LA13KF1 y la línea mejorada UPE-4 superaron los rendimientos de ‘Lázaro’ por más del 102% en Isabela (2,890-3,112 kg ha-1) y Lajas (1,143-1,725 kg ha-1).
dc.description.abstract Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill] are important legumes planted in Puerto Rico. The objectives of this research were to: (1) evaluate the response of recently developed common germplasm to the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goidanich, and (2) compare the agronomic performance of hybrids versus pigeonpea genotypes. UPR-Mp-37 and UPR-Mp-48 white common bean genotypes had an intermediate response to PRI21, PRI22, and PRI23M M. phaseolina isolates in the greenhouse and field trials in Isabela and Lajas. Both genotypes had a genetic gain for resistance to M. phaseolina > 25% compared to ‘Beníquez’ and ‘Verano’ which were susceptible in all evaluations. In pigeonpea, 13KLAF1, LA13KF1 hybrids, and UPE-4 breeding line had > 102% gain for seed yield than ‘Lazaro’ in Isabela (2,890-3,112 kg ha-1) and Lajas (1,143-1,725 kg ha-1).
