Effects of Growth Habits and Competition on Yields of Dry Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) in the Tropics

Abstract: SUMMARYResponses in yield of dry bean genotypes of different growth habits [determinate (Type I), indeterminate small vine (Type II), indeterminate large vine (Type III), and indeterminate climbing (Type IV)] were evaluated over two growing seasons. Types II and III gave higher yields than Type I, with Type II the highest. Narrow between-row spacings (50 cm) tended to give higher yields than 75 cm spacings for all habits, though Type I seemed less responsive than the indeterminate habits, Types II and III.

“…Many wild relatives of legume including wild soybean and perennial wild soybean have vine stems. In common bean, vine growth habit (VGH) has three forms viz., Type I (determinate bush), Type II (indeterminate upright), and Type III (indeterminate vine) 6 , indicating the importance of both stem termination type and twining degree for VGH.…”

“…Yield responses of beans from three morphologically-different, non-climbing types, grown at three spacings, have been described (Kueneman et al, 1978) for two trials at Palmira, Colombia, in 1973 and1974. This paper describes the morphological characteristics and growth rates of these beans as they varied over habit of growth and spacing, and as they related to yield.…”

“…Nevertheless, by seed legume standards dry bean is considered an unimproved, low yielding crop (1). A major limitation to increased seed yields in this crop is its lack of responsiveness to fertilizer nitrogen; supplemental nitrogen creates predominantly vegetative structures at the expense of reproductive ones, especially in the vining bean genotypes (10). Another limitation is its low symbiotic nitrogen (N 2 ) fixation potential, which is considered about one half that of soybean (14).…”
