Abstract:
... Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grain filling is vulnerable to drought and heat stress. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of humidity restriction, high night temperatures and their combination in common bean. The plants were grown in pots at maximum field capacity (100% FC) until the grain filling began. Afterwards, maintained until harvest at: 1) 100% FC, 2) 50% FC at ambi ...
... Foliar application of fertilizers can guarantee nutrient availability to beans, leading to higher yield and seed quality. Different approaches including glycine have been used to improve mineral nutrient status of plants toward safer products and improved human health. However, limited research has been undertaken to understand the response of beans to amino Zn and Mg foliar fertilizer application ...
... Grain legumes including common bean are mostly grown in rainfed production systems and invariably suffer from water stress at critical growth stages leading to significant yield reductions. Drought is one of the most importantstress limiting common bean productivity. The yield has been the primary breeding objective and has been improved by either targeting yield per se as well as yield components ...
... A soil coring protocol was developed to cooptimize the estimation of root length distribution (RLD) by depth and detection of functionally important variation in root system architecture (RSA) of maize and bean. The functional-structural model OpenSimRoot was used to perform in silico soil coring at six locations on three different maize and bean RSA phenotypes. Results were compared to two season ...
... Leaf area index (LAI) is an essential indicator of crop development and growth. For many agricultural applications, satellite-based LAI estimates at the farm-level often require near-daily imagery at medium to high spatial resolution. The combination of data from different ongoing satellite missions, Sentinel 2 (ESA) and Landsat 8 (NASA), provides this opportunity. In this study, we evaluated the ...

... The circadian clock is a molecular timer of metabolism that affects the diurnal pattern of stomatal conductance (gₛ), amongst other processes, in a broad array of plant species. The function of circadian gₛ regulation remains unknown and here, we test whether circadian regulation helps to optimize diurnal variations in stomatal conductance. We subjected bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and cotton (Gossyp ...
... Understanding the effects of crop management practices on weed survival and seed production is imperative in improving long-term weed management strategies, especially for herbicide-resistant weed populations. Kochia [Bassia scoparia (L.) A.J. Scott] is an economically important weed in western North American cropping systems for many reasons, including prolific seed production and evolved resista ...
... Intercropping with maize (Zea mays L.) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the widely used practices of producing food crops on smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, the knowledge on the options toward intensification of available practices in order to optimize systems productivity using intercrops is generally lacking. Therefore, this study evaluated the effects of ...
... Melon thrips, Thrips palmi Karny (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is a significant pest of vegetable crops and ornamental plants due to feeding and oviposition injury to vegetative and reproductive tissues. As an integrated approach, we evaluated the efficacy of a phytoseiid mite, Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot, and different colored and UV-reflective plastic mulches for managing T. palmi in snap be ...
... Banana leaf pruning is a common practice to facilitate intercropping with legumes on farmers’ fields. It is however not clear if this practice improves farmers land-use and economic efficiency, especially after full canopy formation. To analyze pruning effects, three legumes viz. bush bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L), climbing bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) and soybean (Glycine max), were planted under th ...

Abstract:
... Crop yield requires leaf area to intercept solar radiation and to undertake photosynthesis, both of which depend on nitrogen (N) accumulation. Further, the amount of accumulated plant N at the beginning of seed fill serves as the reservoir for N required in synthesizing the proteins in developing seeds. For common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), resolution of the basic characteristics limiting produ ...

Abstract:
... White mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) is the most important fungal disease affecting processing snap bean production in New York (USA). The most important tactic for in-season disease management is fungicide application with the aim of protecting flowers from infection by S. sclerotiorum ascospores. The most popular fungicide is thiophanate-methyl but for rotational purposes, boscalid and fluazina ...

Abstract:
... About 90% of Iran extends over arid and semi-arid areas where drought stress is inevitably suffered by crops such as common bean. Due to limitations in water resources and importance of common bean in Iran, it is essential to evaluate common bean under water-deficit condition. The objective of this study was to determine effects of deficit irrigation on the yield, physiology and biochemistry of tw ...
... The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a major food legume cultivated by smallholder farmers in the tropics of Latin America and eastern and southern Africa. Acid soil and high temperature limit its production. Here we quantify differences in agronomical, phenological and physiological performance of common bean lines in order to identify promising lines with adaptation to acid soils and high ...
... Agricultural intensification in the mountains of Central America has increased soil vulnerability to erosion by water. This study was undertaken to analyse the erosion that affects the mixed cultivation of maize and beans at two stages of the crop development cycle (at 3 and 6 months after sowing) in southern Guatemala, together with the influence of the ground and crop canopy vegetal cover on soi ...
... To study the effect of soil application of potassium humate (KH) (0, 70 and 140 Kg ha⁻¹) on agronomic, biochemical attributes, and yield and its components on bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars ‘Bronco’ grown under two sites having different level of salinity (EC = 3.00 or 5.00 ± 0.20 dS m⁻¹). Two field trials were conducted at the Agriculture Test Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Fayoum Unive ...
... Site-specific crop management is a promising approach to maximize crop yield with optimal use of rapidly depleting natural resources. Availability of high resolution crop data at critical growth stages is a key for real-time data-driven decisions during the production season. The goal of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using small unmanned aerial system (UAS)-based remote sensing tec ...

Abstract:
... Four snap bean varieties (green and yellow-podded) were grown in three water supplies (regularly irrigated, deficit-irrigated and non-irrigated) in order to examine the spectral reflectance at leaf and canopy levels, leaf area index (LAI) and their relationships with the yield and nutritional quality at the University of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary from 2011 to 2013. Under non-irrigated condition, ...
... Drought stress is a major factor limiting yield of dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and drought tolerant cultivars are being developed. Reducing tillage in row crops has advantages of conserving moisture and increasing water infiltration, and may alter the response of dry bean cultivars to drought stress. The goal of this study was to evaluate the response of eight pinto bean cultivars to deficit irr ...
... Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume for human consumption. Drought stress is the major abiotic stress limitation of bean yields in smallholder farming systems worldwide. The current work aimed to determine the role of enhanced photosynthate mobilization to improve adaptation to intermittent and terminal drought stress and to identify a few key adaptive traits that ...
