“…Yields with planting PCU were similar to yields with emergence applied PCU and split urea at the highest N rate (101 kg N ha -1 ) and split urea at 67 kg N ha -1 , but were significantly higher than yields with all other emergence PCU applications. In contrast to the current study, Henson and Bliss (1991) found that applying soluble N at planting generally reduced yields due to nodule inhibition compared with later N applications. In the present study, bean nodule ratings were not affected by N timing treatments, although moisture stress may have limited their growth.…”

“…Studies have shown that inoculation of dry beans with effective rhizobia helps with nitrogen fixation and increases yields (Duque et al, 1985;Da Silva et al, 1993;Camacho et al, 2001), but yields were not affected in the Upper Midwest (Weiser et al, 1985). Even when inoculated, some studies have found higher yields with the addition of N fertilizers (Edje et al, 1975;Henson and Bliss, 1991). Current N fertilizer recommendations for coarse textured soils in Minnesota are to apply a total of 45-68 kg N ha -1 (depending on yield goal) at emergence and prebloom (Rehm et al, 1995).…”

Kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Minnesota are commonly grown on irrigated, coarse-textured soils that are susceptible to nitrate leaching. A dense Bt layer that is present in these soils restricts root growth and may increase severity of Fusarium root rot. Anecdotal evidence from local growers suggests that breaking up the Bt layer reduces the impact of root rot. This study was conducted to assess different tillage depths and the use of polymer coated urea (PCU, Agrium U.S. Inc. and WSPCU, Specialty Fertilizer Products) on grain yields, net monetary returns and disease severity. The study was conducted over three years as a split plot design. Whole plots were deep and shallow tillage (chisel plowed to an average of 47 and 29 cm, respectively) while N treatments were subplots. Three rates of PCU applied at emergence were compared with equivalent rates of urea split applied at emergence and prebloom. Also, one rate of each source, including WSPCU, was applied at planting and a 0 N control was included. Differences between tillage depths were not found. Disease severity was not significantly affected by tillage depths or N treatment. Emergence applied PCU resulted in lower grain yields and monetary returns than split urea applications. PCU applied at planting, however, resulted in similar yields and monetary returns compared with split and planting urea, which suggests a more optimal N regime for kidney bean production. Planting applied WSPCU also resulted in similar yields and net returns as planting applied urea.

“…The rates, method and time of application of the organic fertilizers were determined according to the manufacturers' recommendations ( Table 1). The liquid fertilizers, Biogrow and DIgrow, were applied at vegetative stage, three weeks after planting, when nitrogen is sufficiently needed by beans for shoot development and at flowering 6 weeks for high pod development (Henson and Bliss, 1991).…”

“…The study used NABE 17 variety that is tolerant to diseases and also commonly grown by farmers with high acceptability in the market. Bush beans are also selected due to their positive response to Nitrogen nutrient fertilizers at vegetative stage whichincreases the plant yield (Henson and Bliss, 1991). Therefore the purpose of this study was to assess the performance of a few selected commercial organic fertilizers on the market in Uganda in increasing the growth and yield of bush beans that are commonly cultivated by smallholder farmers in most parts of the country.…”

To assess the quality of commercial organic fertilizers in Uganda market, a quick survey was conducted to establish the organic fertilizers being sold in Container village market in Kampala Capital City. Different products were found being sold as organic fertilizers. Four of these fertilizers are two solid (Biochar and Fertiplus) and two liquid (Biogrow and Digrow) selected for a field study. Field trials to assess the performance of the fertilizers and local farmyard manure on bush beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) were conducted at two locations (Kabanyolo and Nkozi) for two successive seasons in 2017 and 2018 using a randomized complete block design in four replications. Forty days after planting, fresh and dry weights were estimated while biomass and grain yield were determined at harvest. The results showed inconsistencies. For example, although Biochar was found to significantly (P=0.043) increase the mean fresh weight of bush beans in season 1 (2017) at both sites (Kabanyoro and Nkozi), this was not the case in season 2 (2018). Similar performance was found with the other treatments. The mean biomass did not increase significantly (P>0.05) in season 1 (2017) and season 2 (2018) at both locations. The results in season 2 (2018) showed no significant (P>0.05) increase in the mean yield. These results were attributed to the extreme weather conditions experienced in both seasons (severe drought during season 1 and heavy rains that led to prolonged vegetative growth during season 2). These field trials should be repeated under controlled environment to minimize the weather effect.

“…However, application of 40 kg N ha-1 reduced the percentage of N derived from atmosphere by field-grown P. vulgaris (Rennie and Kemp, 1983). Grain yields of some cultivars of P. vulgaris were enhanced, when nitrogen was applied to field-grown plants at the vegetative stage compared to nitrogen application at planting (Henson and Bliss, 1991). The effect of higher quantities of applied N varied with time of nitrogen application.…”

The effect of mineral nitrogen applications at different growth stages on N2 fixation, nodulation and shoot dry weight of two cultivars of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was investigated in a greenhouse experiment. Mineral nitrogen was split into two unequal doses (5 and 25 mg N kg-1 soil). The main fertilizer dose was applied at sowing or at the vegetative stage, V6. N2 fixation was determined by the 15N dilution method combined with the single treatment method. By physiological maturity, shoot dry weights and grain yields did not differ between cultivars, but cv. Puebla fixed more N2 than cv. Negro Argel. The timing of the main nitrogen application (25 mg N kg -1 soil) did not affect final shoot dry weights and grain yields. At the V6 vegetative stage, 28 days after the application of 25 mg N kg -l soil, the nodule numbers of cv. Puebla and cv. Negro Argel were 14% and 82%, respectively, of the nodule numbers of plants which received 5 mg N kg-1 soil at sowing. Also, nodule dry weight and acetylene reducing activity per plant at V6 were reduced following the application of 25 mg N kg-l soil at sowing. However, when 25 mg N kg -1 soil were applied at sowing and 5 mg N kg -1 soil at the V6 stage, 55% and 45%, respectively, of the final (R8) nitrogen accumulation in the shoots of cv. Puebla and cv. Negro Argel was derived from N2 fixation. Less N was derived from the atmosphere (45% and 35% in the shoots of cv. Puebla and cv. Negro Argel at R8, respectively) when 5 mg N kg-1 soil was applied at sowing and 25 mg N kg-1 soil at V6. The delayed onset of N2 fixation of the Phaseolus vulgaris-Rhizobium symbiosis as a consequence of the main nitrogen application at sowing was less detrimental to the quantity of symbiotically fixed nitrogen of both cultivars than the effect of 25 mg N kg -1 soil during vegetative growth.
