Abstract

Cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.) has
various uses worldwide. Plants, also called as guar, are used in industry,
animal feeding and green pods are used as fresh vegetable in some countries. This
research is the first study in Turkey carried out about nutritional composition
of edible cluster bean lines. Ten
edible guar lines selected from mixed populations supplied from abroad through
singlet selection between the years 2011-2015 under Çanakkale provincial
conditions were experimented in this study. Green pod yield, yield
components and nutritional attributes of 10 guar lines were investigated with
field experiments conducted in two years (2016-2017). Statistical assessments
were performed for green pod yield, number of pods per plant, single pod
weight, pod length, pod width, crude protein, digestible protein and dry matter
ratios.

Green pod yields per plant varied between 63.70 - 81.34 g; number of
pods per plant varied between 18.78 - 25.98. Although there were numerical
differences in yields of harvests, such differences were not found to be
significant. Single pod weights of the guar lines varied between 2.91 - 3.76 g
and differences in single pod weights of the guar lines were found to be
significant (p<0.01). Pod lengths varied between 10.86 -12.43 cm and pod
widths varied between 1.31-1.32 cm and differences in pod length and pod widths
of the guar lines were not found to be significant (p>0.01). Crude protein
contents of guar lines varied between 14.38 - 17.22% DM and differences were
not found to be significant; digestible protein contents varied between 65.40 -
75.25% CP and differences were found to be significant (p<0.01). Dry matter
ratios of the green pods varied between 15.92 - 21.16% and the differences in
dry matter ratios were not found to be significant (p<0.01).

Considering the correlations among the investigated traits, it was
observed that green pod yields had significant positive correlations with the
number of pods per plant, pod weights and pod lengths (p<0.05). Pod weights
decreased with increasing number of pods (p<0.01); decreasing dry matter
ratios were observed with increasing pod weights and pod lengths. A similar
change was also observed in digestible protein contents based on crude protein
contents (p<0.05).
