introduction: use of unbalanced chemical fertilizers especially p, having low absorption efficiency and low solubility compounds with soil components, has resulted in the production and use of bio-fertilizers (17, 23 and 29). bio-fertilizer is a preservative material consisting of one or several specific beneficial micro-organisms or their metabolic products used to supply plant nutrients and d...

The calcium content and distribution across the abscission zones of (2-chloroethyl) phosphonic acid-treated bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. Contender) leaves were lower and not uniformly distributed as compared to the control. Calcium chloride-treated bean leaves had a higher calcium content, with more calcium localized in the potential abscission layer. Ethephon treatment promoted abscission ...

The effect of chilling on translocation in higher plants was reviewed by separate consideration of path, sink, and source-cooling effects. The response of the sink to chilling indicates that the effect is mainly due to the inhibition of a metabolic process, while the response of the path to chilling suggests that the effect is mainly due to physical damage such as alteration of membranes. Sugar...

Abstract: IAC 2051 is a common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar with carioca-type seed coat, mean 1000 weight of 300g, indeterminate semi-upright type II growth habit, slow post-harvest coat darkening, resistance to Fusarium wilt, bacterial blight, and three races anthracnose, yield 2729 kg ha-1.

The effect of priming on physiological and biochemical traits French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) under cobalt chloride stress

Eighty-five samples from fifteen different legume seed lines generally available in the UK were examined by measurements of their net protein utilization by rats and by haemagglutination tests with erythrocytes from a number of different animal species. From these results the seeds were classified into four broad groups. Group a seeds from most varieties of kidney (Phaseolus vulgaris), runner (...

Abstract Oviposition, development and survivorship of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) were evaluated on soybean and garden bean under laboratory conditions of 26.0 +/- 0.5 degrees C, 70 - 80% RH and a photoperiod of 14:10 (L:D). B. tabaci deposited more eggs and survivorship of nymphs was significantly greater in a choice-test on soybean, Glycine max L. (Merr.) (Fabeles: Fab...

Effect of foliar application seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum extract on morpho-physiological characteristics bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) under water stress

Polyethylene mulch with a reflective silver stripe and a yellow summer squash, Cucurbita pepo L., trap crop were tested alone and in combination as tactics to reduce densities of Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring eggs and nymphs, and incidence of bean golden mosaic geminivirus on snap bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. Egg densities were consistently higher on squash than on bean, but egg densiti...
