Effect of Spatial Arrangement and Variety on Performance of Bean

Over the past few years, bean yield has been declining. This has been attributed to low yielding varieties and poor plant arrangement management, whose effect is not well understood. Beans have different growth habits (indeterminate and determinate) but a common spacing recommendation has been given without paying attention to the specific growth patterns. This may give room to overcrowding or under population leading to low yield. This book, therefore, instructs scientist, researchers, farmers and students how to select a correct spatial arrangement for a chosen bean cultivar to enhance production.
