Abstract:
The aim of this research was to evaluate the photosynthetic intensity based on chlorophyll content in new leaves in some common bean landraces. In the research were included 32 local populations of common bean collected from all regions of Kosovo. The experiment was carried at Experimental Didactic Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary in Pristina, designed as randomized complete block with three replications, 5 plants for replication. Chlorophyll content was measured by chlorophyll-meter CCM-200. The research results show high significant differences (P <0.05, P <0.01) between common bean landraces in the context of chlorophyll content in new leaves. The highest mean values of total chlorophyll content were registered in the landrace FAGB164 = 24.32 CCI, while the lowest was FAGB180 = 13.86 CCI. The results were calculated statistically using different statistical software such as Minitab 16 and Microsoft Excel.
