Technological perspectives on the effect of some technological factors on the productivity of Phaseolus coccineus L.
Runner beans (Phaseolus coccineus) are preferred by consumers for the main characteristic that differentiates them from common beans, i.e., the larger bean size, MMB ranging from 900 to 3000 g, and their nutritional properties are very similar to those of P. vulgaris. The main risk factors of this species are pedological drought, atmospheric drought, and +25°C temperatures.
Therefore, a study was necessary to adapt the technological factors to the requirements of the plant under Romanian environmental conditions in order to high yields.
Thus, in the year 2022, a polyfactor experiment was set up in the experimental field of the Vegetable Growing Department at Iasi University of Life Sciences: Factor A – support system with two graduations (pyramid and trellis); B – local population, with three graduations, Cozia 1, Cozia 2 and Cozia 3; C – irrigation norm, with two graduations (300 and 400 m3 ha‑1); and D – fertilization type, with three graduations (unfertilized, organic fertilized, chemically fertilized). Following analysis of the production results, the variant that stood out was Trellis × Cozia3×300 m3 ha‑1 × chemically fertilized.
