“…They are sole cropped and in rotation with corn, sugarbeet, or wheat, depending on the region. Beans are grown under irrigation in the western United States and largely produced as a dryland crop in the Midwest (Miklas et al, 2022). In the United States, the average national yield of 1.98 tons/ha is much higher than that of other countries (Rawal & Navarro, 2019).…”

“…Beans are still largely hand harvested when grown in small farms in Africa and Latin America. When grown on large farms, as in the United States, beans are harvested mechanically, either via a two-step process or via direct harvest (Miklas et al, 2022). Advances to improve the upright plant architecture of dry beans during the last two decades have enhanced options for direct harvest (Kelly et al, 2015), which has important sustainability implications, as it reduces the number of equipment passes required.…”

The importance of legumes in sustainable cropping systems has been studied extensively. Among legumes, common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are a rich world resource of biodiversity with two centers of domestication (Andes and Central America) and over 10 major market classes cultivated globally. Common beans are recognized as a nutrient-dense, healthy food source due to their high protein, dietary fiber, and minerals content and also being a rich source of resistant and slowly digestible starch, which elicits a lower glycemic response. Some bioactive compounds present in beans are reported to mitigate cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, hyper-cholesterolemia, and cancer. Dry bean production systems provide unique advantages that support sustainability, including a low carbon footprint and short growth cycle, which facilitates crop diversification and cover crop integration. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF), a unique characteristic of legumes, promotes environmentally friendly production through modest fertilizer use. Advances to improve the upright plant architecture of beans during the last two decades have enhanced options for direct harvest thereby reducing the number of equipment passes required. Overall, the sustainability implications of diversifying crop rotation using beans result in reduced requirements for environmentally unfriendly inputs and buffering of crop productivity under variable weather conditions. This review article covers common beans' role in agricultural sustainability (biodiversity, SNF, rotational diversity, harvest management) and as a sustainable source of nutrition and food security. Further discussion includes measures to enhance dry beans sustainability through breeding and crop management practices by addressing biotic and abiotic stresses (diseases, drought, high temperature, waterlogging, conservation tillage).

“…These food crops have different origins of domestication. Many pulses (i.e., lentils and chickpeas) were generally derived and cultivated in the Middle East regions, whereas common or dry beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are referred to as “new world” crop with small‐seeded types (navy, black, pinto) coming from the Mesoamerican region and large‐seeded types (kidney, cranberry, yellow Mayacoba) of Andean origins (Miklas et al, 2022). Geographic distribution from these domesticated gene pools has contributed to distinctive global regions of predominant usage.…”

Nutritional significance, value‐added applications, and consumer perceptions of food legumes: A review

Legume crops are widely grown worldwide and a primary source of proteins across many least developed countries. These food crops are inherently produced in environmentally sustainable manner and are also an economical source of plant‐based proteins versus animal‐based proteins. The nutrient composition of legumes is very rich, that is, high content of protein, fiber, and bioactive compounds and relatively lower carbohydrates than cereal crops. Although food legumes are a staple in more than 70 countries mostly in Asian, African, and South American regions, the per capita consumption in the Western countries continues to be low in spite of legumes' demonstrated health benefits. However, emerging consumer trends and preferences toward heathy foods, animal protein alternatives, and environmental concerns can enhance the consumption of legume‐based foods. The functional attributes of legume ingredients (e.g., thickening, water‐holding index, gelation, emulsification, and foaming capacity) make legumes suitable for replacing proteins from other sources. The development and marketing of legume‐based ingredients for use in various value‐added food applications have been increasing. The value‐added use of pulse protein isolates and concentrates is expanding fast with substantial use as meat extenders/replacers and meat analogs, milk substitutes, and gluten‐free applications. To increase the utilization of legumes, including legume‐based foods, it is important to focus on research and development efforts that promote “easy‐to‐cook”/prepare foods for consumers, who often avoid legumes due to long cooking times. Addressing this aspect of convenience is particularly critical in developed countries due to the busy lifestyles of consumers and potentially increase legume consumption.

“…Breeding lines that perform well under both favorable and unfavorable trial conditions are advanced. This breeding strategy generally results in germplasm with broad adaption to both dryland and irrigated production regions, to normal and reduced inputs, and to the abiotic stresses mentioned above (Miklas et al., 2022). Herein we describe ‘USDA Rattler’ (Reg.…”

The pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), 'USDA Rattler' (Reg. no. CV-350, PI 693789), was released by the USDA-ARS in 2021 as a high-yielding, upright, fullseason cultivar with abiotic stress tolerance. It was bred for broad adaptation to the different bean production regions across the United States by selection for high yield performance under nonstress and multiple stress trials in Washington state. The multiple stress trials included a "purgatory" plot with low fertility, intermittent drought, and soil compaction, and a separate trial which simulated terminal drought.Conversely, the nonstress trials were well watered and fertilized to optimize yield potential. Yield stability is evidenced by the mean seed yield for the breeding line PT11-13, from which USDA Rattler was selected, numerically exceeding the trial means for 33 of 38 location-years. Broad adaptation for USDA Rattler is further evidenced by an average seed yield of 4547 kg ha −1 across 10 location-years in the Cooperative Dry Bean Nursery. Genetic markers as well as pathogen testing indicate USDA Rattler has I and bc-3 gene combination for durable resistance to all known strains of Bean common mosaic virus and Bean common mosaic necrosis virus. Greenhouse testing with four races of the rust pathogen indicated USDA Rattler is fixed for the Ur-3 resistance gene but is heterogenous for presence of the Ur-11 resistance gene. The seed size, appearance, and canning quality characteristics of USDA Rattler meets the industry standards for packaging and processing.
