Book excerpt: The International Year of Pulses celebrated in 2016 magnified the public focus and consumer perception on human health, environmental aspects, crop production and novel product development benefits of pulses. The gluten-free and plant protein movements have also increased interest in pulse utilization. The common dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) among pulses is the most economically and widest ecologically adapted crop species used for food by large populations. Nowadays, dry beans top the list of pulse crops accounting on average for ~38 and 32% of global pulse growing area and production, respectively. Protein production from kidney beans requires about 18, 12, 10, 10 and 9 times less land, fertilizer, pesticide, water and fuel, respectively compared to producing the same amount of protein from beef.This book focuses on breeding aspects including new cultivars, production and post-harvest practices, and investigations that can lead to the development of high quality grain and functional foods, and nutraceutical products from beans. It also provides an overview of the crop management practices, technology progress and impacts favoring the best possible clean and sustainable crop production. Bean breeding is highlighted form the European perspective including the preservation/conservation of local gene pools. Bean production and quality improvement is a continuous process, particularly in major bean producing and consuming countries. The socioeconomic impact is considerable in countries where beans are traditionally part of the staple daily diet. However, application of novel technologies in improving nitrogen fixation, integrated disease management, and post-harvest storage ensures sustainable bean production and quality. The quality of bean types close to the site of its original domestication provides an outlook on their resilience and potential as a genetic resource and future food products. Current knowledge of bean health benefits, bioactive compounds, bioactive peptides and phenolics are important for development of novel functional foods. Beans can be used in many forms; as a natural coagulant, in metabolic disease prevention and other common bean-based food products, where their current market availability is explored. The multiple attributes of beans including cost, sustainability, commercial availability in varied forms and types ensure its extensive and expanding use in the development of healthy eating habits that can reduce healthcare and societal costs. This book should give plant scientists, nutritionists, health professionals, chemists and industry professionals interested in beans useful and up-to-date information to advance the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period following the second world war has witnessed an expanding commitment to incr~ased food production in tropical countries. Public and private initiatives at the national and international levels have led to the creation of programs geared specifically towards the improvement of food crops in tropical conditions. Examples of this increased commitment are the network of international agricultural research centers and numerous bilateral aid projects. As a consequence, crop improvement has become a truly worldwide endeavor, relying on an international network of institutions and collaborators. This holds also for Phaseolus beans. Following the discovery of the Americas, Phaseolus beans became distributed on all six continents. Yet, until not so long ago, most of the research on Phaseolus improvement took place in developed countries. In recognition of the nutritional importance of Phaseolus beans in developing countries, this has changed considerably in the last years, principally perhaps through the activities of the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) and the International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR). Consequently, the scope of the research on Phaseolus has broadened considerably and the number of Phaseolus researchers is larger than ever before.

This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plants require nutrients in order to grow, develop and complete their life cycle. Mineral fertilizers, and hence the fertilizer industry, constitute one of the most imp- tant keys to the world food supplies. There is growing concern about the safety and quality of food. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, which, together with nitrogen, form the structural matter in plants, are freely available from air and water. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, on the other hand, may not be present in quantities or forms sufficient to support plant growth. In this case, the absence of these nut- ents constitutes a limiting factor. The supply of nutrients to the plants should be balanced in order to maximise the efficiency of the individual nutrients so that these meet the needs of the particular crop and soil type. For example, it should be noted that EU-wide regulations are not designed to govern the specific details of mineral fertilizer use. Although plants receive a natural supply of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from organic matter and soil minerals, this is not usually sufficient to satisfy the demands of crop plants. The supply of nutrients must therefore be supplemented with fertilizers, both to meet the requirements of crops during periods of plant growth and to replenish soil reserves after the crop has been harvested. Pesticides are important in modern farming and will remain indispensable for the foreseeable future.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of these experiments were to determine the feasibility of saving seed from snap bean fields in the Willamette Valley that have been bypassed for canning and freezing, and to study the effects of different seed production methods on yield and quality of snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Field experiments were conducted over a period of two years at the Oregon State University Vegetable Research Farm at Corvallis. The cultivars OSU 1604 and Asgrow 290 were used in these trials. Planting dates in 1975 were May 17, June 20, and July 3, and in 1976 were April 29, May 13, June 4, and June 22. Seeding rates of 165,000, 330,000 and 495,000 seeds/ha were used in both years. The quality of the harvested seed was assessed in terms of germination, seed size, protein content, seedling root length, seedling dry weight, halo blight infection, and field performance. The data indicate that technically it is feasible to produce snap bean seed in the Willamette Valley with yield and quality equal to those produced in traditional seed production areas. It is also suggested that high quality bean seed can be harvested from fields that have been bypassed for processing, provided they have been planted. The seed production methods tested affected nearly all aspects of the crop. Early plantings provided greater yields and delayed plantings decreased yields up to 62%. When planting was delayed until July 3, no seed was harvested because the crop did not mature before the fall rains. The three seeding rates tested did not affect total seed yield appreciably. Laboratory evaluations in 1975 showed no appreciable effects of planting date and seeding rate on seed quality. Field evaluation, however, showed that for Asgrow 290, seeds from the second planting had better stands and produced 20% more pods than seeds from the first planting. Likewise, seeds grown at low density produced 10% and 23% more pods than seeds grown at medium and high densities, respectively. OSU 1604 was not affected by cultural practices. In 1976, yield and seed quality of both cultivars were affected by planting date and seeding rate in the following ways: early plantings and low seeding rates produced greater yields, larger and heavier seeds and heavier seedlings. Late plantings and high seeding rates depressed yields, seed size and seedling weight. Protein content of seed was not affected by either of these variables.
