Content of zinc and iron in common bean seeds (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in different weed control methods

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in 2010-2012 on a private farm located in the village of Frankamionka in the administrative district (powiat) of Zamość, on brown soil with slightly acidic pH, and the average abundance of zinc and iron. The experiment was set up in a random split-plot design with four replications, with seven methods for controlling weed infestation: 1) no weeding control, 2) hand weeding control, 3) linuron (Afalon dyspersyjny 450 SC), 4) linuron + metribuzin (Afalon dyspersyjny 450 SC + Mistral 70 WG), 5) linuron + chlomazone (Harrier 295 ZC), 6) linuron + chlomazone + metribuzin (Harrier 295 ZC + Mistral 70 WG), 7) bentazon (Basagran 480 SL twice). The objective of the study was to determine the effect of weeding control methods on the content of iron and zinc in the seeds of cv. Jaś Karłowy common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The highest seed yield, on average 29.39 dt ha-1 , was obtained on the plots where weeds were controlled by the application of the herbicides Harrier 295 ZC + Mistral 20 WG just after sowing. The lowest seed yield was harvested on unweeded plots-6.77 dt ha-1 on average. Statistical analysis showed a significant effect of the weed control methods and the weather conditions in growing seasons on the content of iron and zinc in bean seeds. The lowest amount of zinc, an average of 36.11 mg kg-1 , was found in beans from unweeded plots. The use of the herbicides Afalon dyspersyjny 450 SC + Mistral 70 WG, Harrier 295 ZC and Harrier 295 ZC + Mistral 70 WG significantly increased the zinc content compared to the un weeded control and manual weeding. The highest iron concentration, on average 75.12 mg kg-1 , was observed in seeds from unweeded plots. Significantly less iron accumulated in beans from plots weeded manually and by application of the herbicides Harrier 295 ZC and Harrier 295 ZC + Mistral 70 WG.

Edaphic and Foliar Biofortification of Common Black Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with Iron

“…Statistical differences were observed between plants in edaphic iron doses for zinc and nickel content. Further, as iron dosage increased, the zinc content decreased, which is in accordance with observed antagonistic effects observed between the minerals previously (Głowacka et al, 2015). Plants subjected to foliar application of iron had different levels of iron and zinc than control-treated plants (0 µM).…”

“…Further, as different doses of edaphic or foliar iron, concentrations of other minerals decreased as a result of antagonistic effects (Głowacka et al, 2015).…”

The Response of Common Bean to Sulphur and Molybdenum Fertilization

“…International Journal of Agronomy International Journal of Agronomy season, which had excessive rainfall in May and August. is may have adversely affected initial growth and impeded the maturation of common bean [18]. e highest content of protein, sulphur, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and calcium was observed in the year with the lowest sum of rainfall in the growing season.…”

Impact of Ag Nanoparticles on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Green Beans in Normal and Chill Temperatures

“…It is a plant, sensitive to low temperatures and water deficiencies, especially in the early stages of development. In the temperate climate zone, chilling temperatures often occur during seed germination and seedling emergence, limiting the growth, development and yield of this plant [1,2]. Therefore, various techniques are used in agricultural practice to improve seed vigour and seedling tolerance to cold stress and other deals with this issue.…”
