The growth regulator 2, 3, 5 triiodobenzoic add (TIBA) was applied foliarly at the beginning of flowering (R1 stage) to a vining dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotype, grown symbiotically in a low nitrogen containing soil. Profiles of root nodule nitrogenase and leaf nitrate reductase activities, as well as of leaf chlorophyll content throughout the postflowering period, indicate that TIBA reduced the duration of nitrogen incorporation and caused early senescence. An increase in the number of pods per plant as well as in dry matter harvest index, supports the theory that TIBA causes bean plants to shift from vegetative to reproductive growth. No seed yield increase occurred as a result of TIBA application. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation alone may not provide sufficient nitrogen to allow optimal development of an increased number of pods. Further trials under higher soil nitrogen levels are suggested.

A caracterização de riscos climáticos para algumas culturas tem sido feita com modelos de simulação e para a cultura do feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) tem-se utilizado o CROPGRO-Dry Bean. Esse modelo calibrado e testado para a região de Santo Antônio de Goiás, GO, foi utilizado na análise de risco climático de quebra relativa de produtividade da cultura naquela região. Para as simulações utilizou-se a série de dados climatológicos (1978 a 1998), as características físicas, químicas e hídricas do solo local (Latossolo Vermelho perférrico), e o módulo "seasonal" do DSSAT 3.5. Foram feitas simulações para a região, a fim de se obter as produtividades potencial (Yp, sem restrição de água no solo) e real (Yr, com restrição dependente das chuvas) da cultivar Carioca. A quebra de rendimento, definida por Q(%) = [1 - (Yr/Yp)].100, foi calculada para cada uma das 36 épocas de semeadura simuladas ao longo do ano, nos 21 anos avaliados, sendo convertidas em freqüência relativa para análise dos resultados. Obteve-se Q > 50% na semeadura da "seca"; Q = 34%, em média, na semeadura das "águas"; e Q > 95%, na semeadura de "inverno". Esses resultados enfatizam a necessidade de irrigação suplementar nas semeaduras da "seca" e das "águas", e durante todo o ciclo, nas semeaduras de "inverno".

EM (effective microorganisms) is a biofertilizer consisting of a mixed culture of potentially beneficial microorganisms. In this study, we investigated the effects of EM treatment on leaf in vivo chlorophyll a fluorescence of photosystem II (PSII), yield, and macronutrient content of bean plants grown on different substrates (nutrient rich substrate vs. nutrient poor sandy soil) in controlled environmental conditions (pot experiment in greenhouse). EM-treated plants maintained optimum leaf photosynthetic efficiency two weeks longer than the control plants, and increased yield independent of substrate. The levels of seed nutritionally-relevant molecules (proteins, lipids, and starch) were only slightly modified, apart from the protein content, which increased in plants grown in sandy soil. Although EM can be considered a promising and environmentally friendly technology for sustainable agriculture, more studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism(s) of action of EM, as well as its efficacy under open field conditions.

The results obtained in pot and field experiments have shown that <i>Helminthosporium sorokinianum</i> is able to infect bean plants. The cotyledons and roots of shoots during the first three weeks of growth are attacked the most frequently. Dark brown spots occur on the above-mentined organs. The infection of roots and cotyledonsof shoots is responsible for gangrene both before and after germination. Infected plants which remain alive only show symptoms of infection in the root system. The infection of roots by <i>H. sorokinianum</i> in older plants is detromental to growth and causes a decrease in the vield obtained from bean plants.
