Field beans varieties

Up to Harvest. Oilseed rape and field beans are used as break crops for winter wheat on a variety of soils, and potatoes are used on the lighter soils. Sugar beet may also be grown, but this depends not only on the soil but also on the proximity of a sugar beet processing factor. Four Rothamsted-based experiments compared the effectiveness of winter wheat and winter oilseed rape in their use of labelled nitrogen fertilizer. Potatoes were included in two of these experiments and sugar beet and field beans in one experiment each. Two criteria based on the... 

Mussa and Russell (52), however, studied the influence of trifluralin on R, aolani f. sp. phassoli and P. vulgaris, and found that growth was stimulated in culture and virulence increased on the host plant. Altman (1) also reported that lesion size and root rot symptoms increased on several Pinto bean varieties planted in soil infested with the pathogen and pretreated with field rates of trifluralin or EPTC. 

As shown In Table V, TI activity generally Increased during maturation. The Dare (field-type) variety had the greatest Increase In activity. Dehulled immature beans held 2,5 minutes in boiling water had 97-98% of the extractable TI activity destroyed regardless of variety. 

So far as isolation is concerned, there should be at least a 2 m gap (or a substantial physical barrier) between pea or bean seed crops and any other crops. In the case of field beans an isolation gap is required between crops of different varieties. For crops of over 2ha this has to be 50m for C2 and 100m for the Cl and Basic generations. For small crops of less than 2 ha these distances rise to 200 m. 

Abstract This chapter opens with an introduction to the concept of world markets for oilseeds and proteins and how this affects farmers decisions to grow break crops. It then tackles the agronomy of the main combinable break crops including oilseed rape, linseed, field peas and field beans. It briefly covers more esoteric crops such as flax, lupins, navy beans and sunflowers. Each crop is dealt with by describing the variety choice, tire establishment, crop nutrition, crop protection, and harvesting and storage, as well as a brief discussion of their markets and quality aspects requited. 

In the beginning, NIR was used for compositional analysis of only grains, beans and seeds which are relatively low moisture products. NIR is now being used for compositional analysis of variety of products including fruits and vegetables which are high moisture products. As the software and hardware of NIR improved, the scope of NIR application has been expanding to diversified fields such as textile, oil, pharmacy, and medical science. 

In Indiana dill is sown, early in spring, directly in the field with a beet or bean drill, in rows about 22 inches apart. The crop is ready to harvest in 90 to 105 days. It is harvested with a grain binder, usually about the middle of July, when the earliest seed has ripened. The herb is allowed to cure in the field for a day or two and then distilled with the equipment used in distilling mint. It takes from 2-1/2 to 3 hours to exhaust the charge. The yield ranges from 1 5 to 50 pounds an acre. Al times a second crop is obtained the same year, but the yield is small and usually unprofitable. There are several varieties of dill, some of which are not suitable for the purpose because they yield less oil or oil of poor quality. 

Chemicals have been used to control insects and plants for centuries, but have come into widespread use only within the past century, with the development of a variety of synthetic pesticides and herbicides. Insecticides are used on several crops important in world agricultural production. Herbicides are used mainly in com and soya bean fields, insecticides mainly on cotton and horticultural crops, and fungicides mainly on horticultural crops and wheat. Pesticides are also used by the greenhouse industry. Of the several hundred chemicals that have been applied for insecticidal purposes, fewer than 100 have been used extensively.
