“…Overall yield was significantly higher in Pisa (distinguishable as a cooler environment than Bologna), whereas secondary metabolite levels were significantly higher in Bologna (Table 1). Irrigation (full field capacity) resulted in a significant improvement in overall yield compared to the non-irrigated condition (ca 45-50% of field capacity), similar to work reported previously [8,10,11,19] Total polyphenol and flavonol contents in both genotypes were significantly higher in non-irrigated compared to irrigated conditions, corroborating previous findings [9,10,20].…”

“…By examining the condition of irrigation within the interaction Genotype × Location for yield, the yield for both varieties in Bologna under non-irrigated conditions was ca 52.5% of that at full-irrigation, whereas for Pisa, the yield under non-irrigated conditions was ca 76.5% of that at full-irrigation, showing that the yield losses were minimized under moderate water stress in the cooler environment of Pisa ( Table 2). Given that increasing temperatures, drought and uneven rainfall are becoming increasingly common due to climate change [8,20], the cultivation of more resistant genotypes (such as Zolfino) and the implementation of deficit irrigation (ca 50% of field capacity analogous to the non-irrigated conditions within the present study) could be employed as strategies to minimize yield loss whilst sustaining increased flavonol content [9]. The interaction Location × Genotype showed higher flavonol contents for Zolfino in Pisa than Bologna, with the reverse trend evident for Verdone ( Table 2).…”

“…Therefore, the requisite to study the impact of environmental inductors and agronomic management practices on phytochemical content, with the objective of identifying which factors can be used as suitable strategies for inducing physiological increases in phytochemicals, has become an increasingly important research focus over recent years [7]. For the common bean, given that more than 60% of global production is cultivated under non-irrigated conditions [8], particular attention has been paid to the agronomic practice of deficit or restricted irrigation, ensuring that field capacity is maintained at 40%-60%. Deficit irrigation or moderate water stress was shown to induce phytochemical content in seeds (flavonoids) with variable effects on yield [9,10] and is currently utilized in identifying more drought-resistant genotypes [9][10][11].…”

Combining the need to increase local Phaseolus vulgaris L. production, with the objective of identifying which abiotic inductors (irrigation and temperature) and/or elicitors (nitrogen fertilizer treatment) can be used as potential strategies to improve flavonol content, open-field experiments were conducted in Pisa and Bologna (Italy) over two years, using the local landrace of interest “Zolfino del Pratomagno”, and a commercial variety, Verdone. Full-irrigation and nitrogen treatment, individually, and in combination, increased yield and decreased flavonols, respectively, in both genotypes and locations. Yield, under all treatments, was significantly higher in Pisa (17.5–21.9 °C) than Bologna (21.4–24.8 °C) for Verdone, but was the equivalent for Zolfino. An inverse correlation between average mean temperature and flavonol content was evident only in Zolfino. The feasibility of increasing dietary flavonol production using decreasing temperature as a strategy with some degree of control was then tested by cultivating Zolfino at different altitudes (108 (24 °C) to 800 m a.s.l. (18 °C)) in Pratomagno. Increasing the altitude induced a significant 3-fold increase in seed-coat kaempferol glycosides, comprising more than 95% of the total flavonols. Temperature-associated effects on flavonol synthesis warrants consideration when selecting a cultivation environment to augment the kaempferol-based, anticarcinogenic benefits of Zolfino.

“…As a consequence, the abovementioned climatic conditions significantly reduced the seed yield and yield components [36,37]. Legume crops in many areas and especially in Mediterranean conditions suffer from heat and water stress and other environmental factors that significantly reduce yield performance [38,39].…”

Development of high yielding and stable cultivars of various legume crops across different environments is very important for their adoption by farmers. In addition, climate change sets new challenges to major crop species and especially to grain legumes such as faba bean (Vicia faba L.) for adaptation to stressful environments. The present study focused on evaluating faba bean genotypes developed for yield and stability across different environments. The study was conducted in three areas of Greece (South, Central, and North) for two consecutive growing seasons (2018–2019 and 2019–2020). Biomass yield, seed yield, and yield components were studied together with plant height, earliness, and water use efficiency. Genotype, environment, and their interaction affected most of the studied characteristics. The environment was the major source of variation for most of the characteristics, as it explained 81–93% of total variation, and only in the thousand seed weight the variation was 49% for the environment and 40% for the genotype. Genotype had a much smaller effect on the remaining characteristics (1.2–3.9%), and the interaction between environment x genotype accounted for up to 0.5–17% of the variation. GGE-biplot analysis for high yield and stability across different environments revealed three genotypic types: genotypes well adapted either for biomass or seed yield and genotypes with high adaptation capacity for both traits under typical Mediterranean conditions. These results indicated that screening faba bean genotypes under different environmental field conditions is essential to identify adaptable cultivars to be cultivated for biomass and/or seed yield or to be used in breeding programs.

“…For instance, approximately 2.4 to 3.2 tonnes of French beans per acre of land can be reported in Kenya while South America and Asian parts report about 6.1 and 8.1 tonnes from the same land size [5]. In India, approximately 5.5 tonnes per acre of land can be produced [6] while it is about 2.3 tonnes per acre in Greece [7]. The world produces about 5.7 tonnes per acre while China produces about 10.7 tonnes per acre as the world's leading producer [8].…”

A sample survey research was conducted in November 2017 to January 2018 at Kariua area in Murang’a county, Kenya, with a sole aim to assess the current situation experienced by the French bean farmers in the area as well as form basis for further research, in which 43 farmers were interviewed. The parameters of interest were the average input levels of various factors (manure, fertilizers and water), average spacing of the crops in the field, the average output of the beans, the general plants’ health- all these were per crop point, land sizes under French beans cultivation as well as the demographic factors like age, gender and family size. The questionnaire was the main data collecting tool. Analysis of the data collected was carried out using both descriptive and inferential statistics: Using both R software and Ms-Excel. The results showed that farmers are experiencing very low yields at peak on average and poor plant health (harvest=13.4 g, infected leaves= 8 and immature pods= 15, all per crop point). Average land size under French beans farming, D.A.P and C.A.N fertilizers applied, manures applied, crop spacing and water for irrigation were found to be approximately 79.80 m2, 4.75 decigrams, 2.49 decigrams, 24.69 grams, 9.81 cm by 27 cm and 4.38 litres respectively. Low yields and poor crop health, scarce resources, pests, infections, diseases and intercropping and were also evident in the region.
