Pod development trend in phaseolus vulgaris l.

H. Zaharah and D. H. Scarisbrick

Abstract

French bean, Processor variety, was planted under glasshouse and field conditions. Measurement of pod development and pod count were done to determine the rate of pod growth, total number of pods initiated and percentage aborted. Results indicated that development of earlier pods affected that of the later ones. Removal of earlier pods as vegetable increased total number of developed pods and delayed crop senescence.
