The Influence of Temperature on Growth and Yield of Green Beans for Processing

Growing and Picking of Green Beans

“…Toughness increased in ʽOrbitʼ, was non-significantly different for ʽBBLʼ and decreased significantly with diameter size. The diameter showed linear relationships between the sensory properties in days after first picking and pod diameter in mm as found previously [15,17]. Mealiness of ʽOrbitʼ, ʽBBLʼ and ʽCoreneʼ increased significantly, whereas preference decreased significantly in pod size with picking time.…”

“…The maximum yield of bean pods with diameter 7.5 -11.0 mm by growing of ʻBBLʼ in four experimental years had maximum 9.5, 10.0, 12.0 and 11.5 days after the first day of picking. After this stage, changed pod composition rapidly with increasing dry matter content as found previously [15,17,18]. Mealiness increased with picking time except for ʽBBLʼ, toughness, increased whereas preference decreased with picking time, whereas sweetness and preference decreased with picking time for the four cultivars, whereas toughness increased significantly with picking time (Table 5).…”

“…The pod weight was significantly highest 0.5 m from the bean plants [13,14]. The linear growth and increases in dry matter has been confirmed previously [15]. The improvements in bean pod yield an improvements in quality characteristics may probably result in considerations regarding the possibilities for growing of green bean in areas with shelter in order to improve the yield and quality characteristics by growing and processing of green bean pods as shown previously in table 1 and 2.…”

“…The average maximum yield of ʽBBLʼ, ʽCoreneʼ, ʽFortuneʼ and ʽOrbitʼ in four years with irrigation were 9.5b, 12.2d, 9.9c and 7.8a ton ha-1 with average degree days 1101d, 1034c, 957b and 819a, respectively. The number of raw beans with pod size below 7.5 mm decreased significantly with picking time, whereas firmness increased significantly by increasing pod size [12,15]. Sensory properties of blanched bean pods stored at -25°C for four months with picking time.…”

“…Bean in size >11 mm did not occur in beans from ʽFortuneʼ and ʽCoreneʼ, while these sizes of ʽOrbitʼ and ʽBBLʼ increased with time in these two cultivars. Mealiness and toughness increased significantly with picking time, whereas sweetness and preference decreases with picking time [12,15]. The bean pod size in this research included beans with diameter < 7.5, 7.5-11.0 and > 11.0.…”
