Growth and Yield of Four Varieties of Bush Snap Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L) Inoculated with BSU Indigenous Microbial Organisms (IMO) under La Trinidad, Benguet condition.

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the growth and yield of the different varieties of bush snap beans; determine the effect of Benguet State University indigenous microbial organisms (IMO) inoculation on the bush snap bean varieties; determine the interaction effect of BSU-IMO inoculation and the different bush bean varieties; and determine the profitability of using BSU indigenous microbial organisms (IMO) inoculation in bush snap bean production under La Trinidad, Benguet condition. The inoculation of BSU-IMO did not significantly increase the growth and yield of the bush bean varieties. In most of the parameters gathered, no significant differences were recorded as an effect of the variety except for pod length. The non-application of BSU- IMO for bush bean production is more profitable.
