Effect of single-pass harvest on snap bean yield

Abstract

Snap bean yield was studied in a field trial during 2003 and 2004. The spring snap bean cultivar Presenta was used in the trial. The two variants in the trial included: 1) multiple-pass pod harvest and 2) single-pass pod harvest (control). The results with regard to pod yield per plant (g) and pod yield per hectare (t) were of major interest. The effect of single-pass harvest on snap bean yield was unfavorable decreasing pod yield. However, single-pass harvest (mechanical harvesting) is known to be widely used on large snap bean production areas. Manual harvesting (multiple-pass harvest) is used on small snap bean growing areas. .

Boranija je ispitivana u poljskim ogledima. Mahune su brane jednokratno i višekratno (kontrola). Ispitivana je prolećna boranija, sorta "prezenta". U radu je prikazan prinos mahuna po biljci (g/biljka) i prinos mahuna po hektaru (t/ha). Jednokratna berba je negativno uticala na boraniju. U stvari, ona je smanjivala prinos. To je iznosilo 7,49 g (po biljci) i 2,54 t (po hektaru). Boranija je u proseku donosila 9,24 t/ha mahuna. .
