Growth and Yield of Bush Snap Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Varieties Irrigated with Different Levels of Water in La Trinidad, Benguet.

Abstract

The study was conducted at Benguet State University experimental area, La Trinidad Benguet to determine the growth and yield of bush snap bean varieties; determine the growth and yield of bush snap bean as affected by different levels of water; and to determine the interaction effect of the different bush bean varieties under different levels of water. Results showed that Blue Lake have the highest plant height at 40 DAP and 60 DAP, more flowers, clusters and pods, longest and widest pod, highest number of roots and longest tap root length, highest marketable pods, gross income, net income and ROCE. The different levels of water significantly affected plant height, length and width of the pods, the length of the tap roots, and weight of the pods, total yield, gross income, net income and ROCE of the three bush snap bean varieties. The results showed that the application of 20 liters of water and Blue Lake produced the longest pods and longest roots.
