ESTRADA PRADO, Wilfredo et al. Effect of Azofert^®on the yield of common bean varieties (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)under conditions of water deficit. Ctro. Agr. [online]. 2017, vol.44, n.3, pp. 36-42. ISSN 0253-5785.

ABSTRACT The effect of Azofert® on the induction of tolerance of bean varieties to water deficit was evaluated. The experiment was developed during the period 2013-2014 at the Cooperative for Credits and Services Strengthened "Roberto Aguilar", Bayamo municipality, Granma, Cuba. Varieties CC-25-9R and Tomeguín-93 were used, which were applied four treatments, consisting of normal irrigation conditions throughout the crop cycle and conditions of water deficit at the beginning of flowering, formation and filling of the pods. In each case Azofert® was applied, with a dose of 200 mL per 50 kg of seed at the time of planting and as controls treatments were used without the application of this product. A randomized block design was used according to divided plots and four replicates. Ten plants were selected at random for each treatment to evaluate pod length (cm), pod width (mm), pod diameter (cm), number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pods, number of seeds per plant, weight of seeds per plant (g), weight of 100 seeds (g), as well as yield (t ha^-1). The results showed the significant effect of Azofert ® in increasing tolerance to the water deficit of the studied varieties
