SummaryFour growth regulators were tested: N-dimethylaminosuccinamic acid (aminozide); N-pyrrolidinosuccinamic acid (F529); 2-chloroethyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride (JF2579); potassium 2(3-chlorophenylcarbamoyloxy) propionate (JF3072); all shortened stems. JF2579 and JF3072 were phytotoxic and lessened yield. Aminozide and F529 (tested in 1970 only) did not affect yield in 1970 but aminozide increased yield by 28% in 1971. Seed rates and row spacings had small effects on yield which varied with season. Growth regulators did not interact with seed rates or row spacing. Plant density and growth regulators had effects on yield via the number of stems and pods per stem. The effects of season on yield were greater and were caused via 100 grain weight. Speculative hypotheses are suggested to explain the different actions of season and treatments.

Good Behaviour

Results obtained on the cambic chemozen soil Timisoara in thet good behaviour of the Montana cultivar in which, due to fertilising with N90P60K60 yield was over 2700 kg/ha. Content in protein depending on cultivar and nitrogen dose varied between 23,8% and 25.5%, and protein yield varied between 381 and 692 kg/ha

SUMMARYStudies were made of the proximate and mineral compositions of modern strains of both spring· and winter-sown beans. The majority of the winter beans were of the Throws M.S. variety, of the spring beans Minors. On the dry-matter basis spring beans averaged 31·4% crude.protein, winter beans 26·5%—a highly significant difference. The true protein values showed a parallel trend. Winter beans averaged 9% crude fibre, spring beans 8%, again a highly significant difference. The strains confirmed the usually accepted levels of oil and of the principal mineral components, except that modern beans appear to be richer in phosphorus.

Pollination And Fertilization

SUMMARYIncidences of pollination and fertilization were surveyed in 21 commercial crops of field beans (16 of winter, 5 of spring) in southern Cambridgeshire (England) in 1982 and 1983. During the first part of the flowering season of winter beans, from 30 to 75% of flowers were not pollinated, and thus could not set pods. Where the pollination was largely spontaneous, relatively few pollinated flowers were fertilized and within them, relatively few ovules were fertilized. Later in the season and through most of the spring-bean flowering season, over 90% of flowers were pollinated and over 75% of ovules were fertilized. Incidences of pollination and fertilization varied greatly among the fields, and provision of hives of honeybees in fields of winter beans was associated with an improvement in the incidence of pollination from poor to moderate in 1983 but not in 1982. It is concluded that the incidence of pollination in many fields of winter beans is too low early in the season for an optimum distribution of yield along the stems.

Second Peak

SummaryVicia faba cv. Minden was precision planted at densities of 12–100 plants/m2 in 1977 and 30–60 plants/m2 in 1978 with and without seed-bed applications of aldicarb (10 kg/ha).Nitrogenase activity per plant decreased significantly with increased plant density but this was compensated for on an area basis by increased numbers of plants. When expressed on the basis of area, nitrogenase activity was higher with closely, than with widely spaced plants both early and late in the season. Irrespective of planting density nitrogenase activity reached a peak during vegetative growth of the plant and a second peak during rapid pod and seed development. In 1977 the second peak was interrupted by very dry soil conditions but later activity increased following rain.Aldicarb consistently increased nitrogenase activity at all harvests after Sitona damage to the nodules was evident. Over this period plots treated with aldicarb had twice the nitrogenase activity of untreated plots in 1977 and 55% more in 1978.

Field Beans

1. A male-sterile winter bean, inherited as a simple Mendelian recessive, is described.2. The sterility gene was shown to be expressed in the cytoplasm of eleven inbred lines of English winter beans, two varieties of English spring beans, six varieties of foreign spring beans and three varieties of broad beans (Vicia faba major). It is concluded that these varieties are unlikely to provide a fertility-inducing cytoplasm which would allow the development of a non-restoring pollinator.3. Evidence of linkage between three chlorophyll-deficient mutants and the male sterility locus is given and circumstances are outlined by which a suitable marker gene could be employed to assist in large-scale production of hybrid seed.
