Description
To contribute to the preservation of local varieties of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) from Navarre, which are a great resource of genetic and cultural diversity.
Contextual description
We need to know which varieties are most resilient to climate change. To this end, we have conducted trials of commercial and heirloom local varieties, seeking to determine which ones suffer the least decline in performance when temperatures rise and water becomes scarce.
Results
All varieties experienced a decrease in yield under any stress. The most productive varieties were also the most resilient to climate change. All tomato varieties showed a lower yield index under stress, while only one pea variety experienced a decrease in yield relative to total biomass. Some varieties increase their nutritional value under stress conditions, and this warrants further investigation.
