Because of interest in maximizing production per unit area in regions where the land base is limited, the effects of planting density; (16–116 plants m−2) and planting design on pod yield of bush snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were measured in replicated field trials with cv. Harvester in 1980 and 1981. Three planting designs were used: (a) conventional row designs with interplant spacing of 5 cm and interrow spacing of 20, 45, 80 and 125 cm; (b) square designs with interplant and interrow spacings both at 10, 15, 20 and 25 cm; and (c) triangle designs (honeycomb) with plants arranged at equal distances of 10, 15, 20 and 25 cm from each of their six nearest neighbors. In all three planting designs, higher planting densities (up to 116 plants m−2) gave higher pod yields per unit area. Except for the lower response in the square design in 1981, increases in yield with increasing density were similar for all designs in both years. Pod yields did not differ from one design to the other in 1980. In 1981, the triangle design gave the highest average yield and the row design gave the lowest average yield. The results confirm observations of yield advantages in planting designs which use equal spacing in all directions.Key words: Yield-density relationship, row spacing, honeycomb design, snap bean, Phaseolus vulgaris

SummaryLeaf burn and gradual death were the characteristic symptoms of injury in P. vulgaris sown on a sodic soil. Plant growth, total leaf area per plant, number of stomata and epidermal cells per unit leaf area, and relative water content were drastically reduced in injured plants; these were associated with large sodium accumulation in the shoot resulting in cation imbalance.

Growth and rates of photosynthesis of two accessions and two cultivars (Great Northern 1140 and Sutter Pink) of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were compared at 10, 15, and 23 °C in a controlled environment cabinet. The leaf area, dry matter, and rate of total apparent photosynthesis of one of the accessions was significantly higher after growth for 13 days at 10 °C than that of the commercial cultivars. This advantage was not maintained at 23 °C. In another experiment, growth of the same four cultivars was compared at light/dark temperatures of 10/10, 15/12, and 23/18 °C. The two accessions established a higher leaf area and accumulated more dry matter at the cooler temperatures than the commercial cultivars, but lost this advantage at the highest temperatures. In a field trial, the accessions had a similar rapid early growth but fell behind later in the season. Ideally, a bean cultivar for the Canadian prairie should incorporate the accession’s ability for rapid growth and leaf expansion at cool temperatures with a growth rate during mid-summer comparable to that of Great Northern 1140.
