“…These results make suppose a difficult adaptation of lupin Luxe to soil and climatic condition of Mugello area, irrespective of sowing times, as shown in Table 4. Field bean shown a higher value of plant's height in autumnal sowing, respect to late winter sowing, in agreement with results obtained by other authors (Husain et al, 1988;Duzdemir and Ece, 2011). In the case of pea and lupin species, there is no effect on plant's height in relation to sowing season.…”

In 2005-2007 growing season, few varieties of field bean, high protein pea and white lupin were compared in an organic farm of Central Italy (Mugello area, Tuscany), to evaluate their agronomic performance in terms of grain yield, nutritional quality and competitive ability against weeds. The experiment was performed under rain-fed conditions. Furthermore, grain legumes features were compared between two different sowing seasons (autumnal vs late-winter) for two years, in order to get information on the best time of sowing of these species, and the stability of yields of different genotypes in those climatic and soil conditions. These legumes could be an alternative protein source to external soybean, a high-risk alimentary source of genetically modified organisms, in the organic livestock sector. The main findings indicate that higher yields in grain and crude protein were obtained with the pea species and in particular with cultivars Hardy (4.0 t/ha grain yield; 626 kg/ha crude protein yield) and Classic (3.1 t/ha grain yield; 557 kg/ha crude protein yield); followed by field bean cv. Chiaro di Torre Lama (2.9 t/ha grain yield; 624 kg/ha crude protein yield) and cv. Vesuvio (2.5 t/ha grain yield; 549 kg/ha crude protein yield). Furthermore the field bean is interesting for the stability of yield in both years despite climatic conditions rather different. The white lupin has showed the lower yield but the best values of grain quality, with higher values in lupin Multitalia for dry matter, crude protein and ether extract and in lupin Luxe also for crude fibre, respect to the other legumes analysed. Among lupin varieties, lupin Multitalia showed the best yield results for the pedo-climatic conditions of Mugello area (0.9 t/ha lupin Multitalia; 0.2 t/ha lupin Luxe). The total yield of organic grain legumes, in the experimental site, is resulted higher with an autumnal seeding respect to the late-winter seeding (2.8 t/ha vs 1.9 t/ha).

“…Although Coyne (1965) was not successful with selection for yield or for yield components in common bean, Sarafi (1978) showed that selection was effective in increasing the number of pods/plant with no simultaneous change in the levels of the other yield components and Coyne (1968) recommended this trait for selection for yields. The 'components of yield' approach has been used widely to explain variations in the yield of grain legumes such as peas (Pisum sativum L.) (Nichols et al 1985), field bean (Vicia faba L.) (Husain et al 1988) and Phaseolus vulgaris (Dapaah et al 2000).…”

Yield, yield components and plant architecture in the F3 generation of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) derived from a cross between the determinate cultivar ‘Prelude’ and an indeterminate landrace

Yield, yield components and plant architecture in the F3 generation of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) derived from a cross between the determinate cultivar 'Prelude' and an indeterminate landrace Abstract Growth trials were conducted outdoors in the UK to determine the yield, yield components and plant architectural differences between determinate and indeterminate Phaseolus vulgaris bean plants. F3 lines derived from crosses between 'Prelude', a determinate cultivar and 'V8', an indeterminate landrace, were grown together with the parents and 'Carioca', an indeterminate landrace from Brazil. Data were recorded on flowering date, number of nodes on main stem at flowering, plant height at maturity, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod, number of seeds/plant, 100-seed weight, seed mass/plant, percentages of diseased and healthy seeds/plant. Determinate F3 lines had significantly lower (P < 0.05) seed mass/plant, fewer pods/plant, fewer seeds/pod, fewer seeds/plant, lower harvest index, shorter stems, earlier date of flowering, fewer nodes at flowering and fewer healthy seeds/plant than indeterminate F3 lines. However, determinate genotypes had significantly larger (P < 0.05) pods to accommodate their larger seeds compared with indeterminate lines. A similar situation was found when the yield and yield components of 'V8', 'Prelude' and 'Carioca' were evaluated; the highest seed mass/ plant was given by 'V8' and the lowest by 'Prelude'. Furthermore, some indeterminate genotypes with Type IV growth habit yielded significantly higher (P < 0.05) than the highyielding parent, 'V8', indicating a positive influence on seed yield by crossing different genotypes.

“…There are many reports of seed yield increases with irrigation of P. vulgaris (Martin 1982;Love et al 1988). In Canterbury, White et al (1982) and Husain et al (1988a) reported similar results for peas and field beans. The increase in seed yield resulted from more pods per plant, more seeds per pod and a greater 100 seed weight.…”

“…27 Two factors which exert a large influence on the yield of grain legumes in Canterbury are sowing date and irrigation (Wilson 1987;Husain et al 1988a;McKenzie & Hill 1990). Timely seeding has long been recognised as a key to efficient crop production.…”

The phenology, yield, and yield components of pinto beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were examined in the 1994/95 and 1995/96 growing seasons in Canterbury, New Zealand. In the first season, irrigation treatments (nil and full) combined with two sowing dates (27 October and 24 November) were studied. In 1995/96, pinto beans were sown on four dates (1, 15, 29 November and 13 December) with or without irrigation. Temperature was about average during the two seasons, but they were drier (50 and 60% of the long-term mean total rainfall, respectively) than usual. There was a highly significant positive relationship (r 2 = 0.98; P < 0.0001) between the rate of development from emergence to flowering (E-F) and mean temperature, but no relationship with photoperiod. All the development stages depended on accumulated thermal time above a base temperature of 7°C. The mean accumulated thermal times for E-F, flowering to podding, podding to physiological maturity, and sowing to harvest were 306, 79, 392, and 974°C days, respectively. Seed yield was up to 378 g/m 2 with irrigation. Fully irrigated crops (averaged over both seasons) yielded 50-70% higher than the unirrigated crops. The mid-late November-sown crops that were irrigated yielded 362 g/m 2 , 15% greater than the irrigated late October-early November and December-sown crops. Seed yield differences among treatments were highly influenced by the number of H98050
